Manatee Primary Care welcomes new patients in Bradenton and surrounding communities for annual physicals, preventive care, and ongoing primary care.
Why Annual Physicals Matter
Many serious health conditions, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and even certain cancers, develop silently, without obvious symptoms. By the time you feel something is wrong, the condition may already be advanced. An annual physical exam is your best defense: it gives your doctor a complete picture of your health every year, so problems can be caught and treated early, when outcomes are best.
At Manatee Primary Care in Bradenton, Dr. Milian, MD, CWSP uses your annual physical to review your medical history, update your medications, order appropriate lab work, perform preventive screenings, and build a personalized plan to keep you healthy in the year ahead. It is also the right time to discuss any concerns you have been putting off, from fatigue and weight changes to mental health and sleep.
The American Academy of Family Physicians and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force support preventive care visits for adults. Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover these visits. View all primary care services →
What Is Included in an Annual Physical?
An annual physical may include a review of your medical and family history, current medications, vital signs, a head-to-toe physical examination, discussion of health risks and lifestyle, and individualized preventive recommendations. Every visit at Manatee Primary Care is thorough and unhurried.
Medical and family history review
Update of current medications, allergies, family history, and any new symptoms or concerns since your last visit.
Vital signs
Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, height, weight, and BMI.
Head-to-toe physical exam
Examination of the head, eyes, ears, nose, throat, neck, lymph nodes, heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, and extremities.
Neurological assessment
Basic reflexes, coordination, and cognitive screening as appropriate for your age.
Individualized lab orders
Lab work ordered based on your age, history, and risk factors, not a one-size-fits-all panel.
Preventive screening review
Age- and sex-appropriate cancer screenings, bone density, vision, hearing, and cardiovascular risk assessment.
Vaccination review
Review of your immunization record and administration of any due or overdue vaccines.
Medication reconciliation
Review of all current prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and supplements for interactions and appropriateness.
Health risk and lifestyle discussion
Discussion of diet, exercise, alcohol use, tobacco, mental health, and other lifestyle factors.
Personalized care plan
A written summary of your health status, recommended follow-up, referrals, and goals for the coming year.
Do I Need Blood Work With My Annual Physical?
Laboratory testing is individualized, not every patient automatically requires the same blood work. Dr. Milian determines which labs are appropriate based on your age, medical history, current symptoms, medications, and personal risk factors. There is no one-size-fits-all panel.
When lab work is indicated, common panels may include:
Manatee Primary Care has in-house lab capabilities and partners with Quest Diagnostics for a full range of panels. Results are typically available within 1–3 business days, and Dr. Milian will review them with you directly. View accepted insurance and lab information →
Preventive Screenings and Health Maintenance
Age- and risk-appropriate preventive care may include screening for high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, osteoporosis, and other conditions when appropriate. Dr. Milian follows U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines and will order or refer you for screenings based on your individual profile.
Vaccinations for Adults
Vaccines are not just for children. Adults need regular immunizations to stay protected against serious infections. During your annual physical, Dr. Milian will review your vaccination history and recommend any vaccines that are due or overdue. Commonly recommended adult vaccines include:
Annual Physical vs. Medicare Annual Wellness Visit
If you are on Medicare, it is important to understand the difference between these two visits, they are separate benefits and serve different purposes. A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is not the same as a traditional comprehensive physical examination.
| Annual Physical Exam | Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) | |
|---|---|---|
| Physical exam | Full head-to-toe exam | Not included |
| Health risk assessment | Yes | Yes, detailed questionnaire |
| Cognitive screening | Basic | Structured cognitive assessment |
| Personalized prevention plan | Yes | Yes, written plan required |
| Advance care planning | Optional | Included |
| Medicare coverage | Part B (may have cost-share) | Part B, $0 cost-share |
| Frequency | Annually | Once per calendar year (after first year on Medicare) |
Many Medicare patients choose to schedule both visits in the same year. Dr. Milian can perform both on the same day or separately, depending on your needs and insurance coverage. Learn more about Medicare at Manatee Primary Care →

Insurance and Self-Pay Options
Manatee Primary Care accepts Medicare and multiple commercial insurance plans. Annual preventive exams are typically covered under most plans, but coverage varies, we encourage patients to verify their individual preventive-care and laboratory benefits before their visit, as benefits differ by plan.
Important note: If you bring up a new medical problem or receive treatment for an existing condition during the same visit, your insurance may bill that portion as a separate sick visit, which may be subject to your copay or deductible. We will always be transparent about how your visit is being coded.

$85
New Patient Office Visit
Self-pay rate for a new patient evaluation
