2009 Preventive Health Care Guidelines

Preventive health care is an important part of staying healthy. That's why Priority Health recommends these guidelines for screenings, immunizations and physical examinations regardless of your health status. They show the suggested services that your doctor may perform for various age groups during a routine physical exam.

• A preventive examination may include other services and screenings not included in these guidelines when your doctor finds them necessary.
• These guidelines are not intended to provide information on Priority Health benefits or coverage. Please refer to your coverage documents for benefits.
• We encourage you to review these guidelines and discuss any questions you may have with your doctor.
