Annual Wellness Exam FAQs
What is the difference between a physical and a wellness exam?
A wellness exam focuses on preventive care and does not typically address existing or acute health concerns, while a physical may include more in-depth evaluations or treatments for known conditions.
Is the annual wellness visit covered by insurance or Medicare?
Yes, most commercial insurance plans and Medicare cover annual wellness exams at no cost to you.
How long does an annual wellness exam take?
On average, expect your visit to last 30–45 minutes. This includes time for discussion, screenings, and planning your next steps.
Immunizations
Protect Your Health with Adult and Adolescent Vaccines
Vaccines are essential in preventing serious illness at every stage of life. At Optimal Care Family Health, we provide CDC-recommended immunizations for teens, adults, and seniors in a comfortable and convenient setting.
Offered Vaccines:
- Flu shot (seasonal)
- COVID-19
- Shingles (Shingrix)

- Pneumonia (PPSV23, PCV20)

Immunization FAQs
Do adults still need vaccines?
Yes. Adults need periodic vaccines such as the flu shot, tetanus boosters, and shingles or pneumonia protection based on age and risk.
Can I get multiple vaccines at one appointment?
In most cases, yes. We follow CDC guidelines to safely administer multiple vaccines if recommended.
Are vaccines safe for patients with chronic conditions?
Absolutely. In fact, individuals with chronic conditions may be more vulnerable to infections and are often strongly encouraged to stay current on immunizations.
