WELL-WOMAN CARE IN KENNESAW
Preventive care that evolves with you
A well-woman visit is dedicated to prevention. It is an opportunity to review your health history, menstrual and reproductive health, medications, family history, lifestyle, screening needs, and questions about sexual or menopausal health.
A Pap test is not the same as a well-woman visit, and a pelvic exam is not automatically required at every visit. Your provider will recommend screening and examination based on your age, history, symptoms, and current guidance.
What may be included
Your visit may address preventive screening, contraception, menstrual health, breast health, STI risk, vaccines, bone health, menopause planning, and healthy lifestyle goals. The exact visit is individualized.
Preventive visit or problem visit?
Insurance generally distinguishes preventive services from the evaluation of a new or ongoing medical problem. If significant symptoms or concerns are evaluated during a scheduled wellness visit, additional problem-oriented services may be documented and billed. Our team can explain this distinction, but your insurer determines your final benefits and patient responsibility.
