What Do I Need?
Our physicians have developed clinical practice guidelines that help them decide what tests to recommend based on your age and your unique health risks. We will never recommend tests that we don’t think are necessary and we won’t alter our recommendations based on your insurance coverage. We want you to know your doctor’s best advice, and let you partner with him in deciding how to proceed.
In general terms, ProPartnersMD physicians recommend a Milestone Health Assessment for all men at age forty and every five years thereafter.
In addition to periodic Milestone Health Assessments, a basic Health Assessment (preventive check-up visit) is recommended:
- Every year for men on prescription medications;
- Every year for men fifty years of age and older;
- Every two years for men in their forties (not on prescription medications);
- Every three years for men younger than forty (not on prescription medications);
- Every year for men of any age with significant risk factors for the development of medical problems (e.g. obesity, smokers, excessive alcohol use, family history of significant medical problems, etc.).
