An annual physical — also called a yearly check-up, an adult wellness exam or a complete physical — is the one visit a year that looks at the whole picture — blood pressure, weight, blood sugar, cholesterol, heart and lungs — before something becomes urgent. UrgentMed offers adult annual physicals and a more comprehensive executive physical at both Broward clinics, walk-in, with blood work, EKG and body composition analysis on site.
Annual physical and adult wellness exam
- History review: medications, family history, lifestyle, and any symptoms you have been putting off.
- Vital signs, weight and BMI, and a head-to-toe examination.
- Laboratory panel drawn on site — typically CBC, metabolic panel, lipids, A1c and thyroid, tailored to age and history.
- Screening conversations and referrals appropriate to your age: colon, cervical, breast and prostate screening, bone density, hearing and vision.
- Immunization review, with vaccines stocked here given at the visit.
- A written summary, results review at follow-up or by phone, and a copy to your primary care physician on request.
Executive physical
For people who want a more complete baseline in one visit — often paid by an employer — the executive physical (also called an executive health exam) adds a 12-lead EKG, spirometry, a body composition scan, vision and hearing screening, an expanded laboratory panel and a longer consultation, with a written report you can take to your own physician or your company’s benefits program.
Conditions found at a physical are treated here
A physical that turns up elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar or diabetes, or a weight concern does not end with a referral letter: both clinics treat and manage blood pressure and diabetes, and run a supervised weight-loss program.
Who an annual physical is for
- Adults without a primary care physician, or between physicians, who still want a yearly check.
- People whose insurance covers a preventive visit and who cannot get a timely appointment elsewhere.
- Employers offering executive or wellness physicals as a benefit — set up an account.
- Anyone who needs a general check-up for a form: see the physicals hub for school, work, DOT, immigration and licensing exams.
Annual physical near me — walk in at either Broward clinic
No appointment is needed for an annual physical; for fasting labs, come in the morning before you eat. Both clinics are open seven days a week — Davie at 5149 S University Drive (Renaissance Plaza, just south of Griffin Road) and Plantation at 10199 Cleary Boulevard, Suite 10. Both serve Davie, Plantation, Cooper City, Weston, Sunrise, Southwest Ranches, Pembroke Pines and the surrounding Broward County communities. Hours, maps and parking.
Insurance and self-pay
Many insurance plans cover one preventive physical a year; the visit and labs are billed as a medical visit and coverage depends on your plan. Original Medicare does not cover routine physical exams, though a Medicare Advantage plan may. Executive physicals are self-pay or employer-billed and quoted before the visit.
