Bloodwork isn't part of a routine annual physical with a PCP.



That’s basically all my annual physical is with my PCP. Short chat, referral for lab work, 2 minute phone call when they get the results.


Mid forties, my insurance only covers preventative blood work every 3 years or something like that. I guess that can be based on having a normal/good workup the previous time.


Mine's just weight, blood pressure/pulse, and a chat.


Huh, weird, mine always has a basic blood panel - cholesterol, etc. But it hasn’t yet led to expensive follow-ups.
