ANNUAL VISIT: AGE-APPROPRIATE GUIDELINES AND WHAT IS “COVERED”

An annual “preventative” visit provides a unique opportunity for you and your GYN to;
– conduct a thorough history (menstrual, medical, GYN, social and family)
– screen for domestic violence and other high-risk factors
– assess risk factors,
– conduct a physical exam (appropriate for your age and circumstance)

Recent preliminary data from our own Women’s health centers, in NYC and the surrounding boroughs indicates Chlamydia rates of 12.5 per thousand women in contrast to the national averages of 5 per thousand people.
