Well Woman/Primary Care
Learning what conditions and diseases for which you are at-risk , tests and preventive screenings you need and finding a clinician you feel comfortable with are all aspects of good well-woman care.
Most insurance companies cover a complete well-woman examination annually, which includes all of these factors, as appropriate to your age and health status.
There are some tests that apply to most women (i.e., Pap smear and clinical breast exam), but you may also have special health care needs that require different approaches.
Your well-woman exam is your opportunity to discuss health concerns and your family history with your clinician.
UCSD offers well-woman visits through our family practitioners, gynecologists and Certified Nurse Midwives.
