In addition, we are happy to have a discussion with your regular primary care physician after your executive health exam, if you so desire.
What if my physical reveals new health issues or requires additional follow-up care?
Your executive health exam may reveal a need for new care or additional follow-up. If this happens, we can help coordinate your care across the Piedmont network. Typically, this care does not happen the same day as your executive health exam but is coordinated and scheduled in an expedited manner. Follow-up care is not included in the costs of the executive health exam, and typically can be billed to your insurance.
