Periodic health visit

A health check-up, more formally known as Periodic Health Visit (PHV), replaces the annual physical examination.

Longer than a typical medical appointment, a PHV offers you an opportunity to connect with the nursing team and a doctor to identify your health care goals together. You’ll be able to take a holistic approach to your health and talk to clinicians about what matters most to you and what you would like to address.

It includes a review of your health history, lifestyle and risk factors, vaccines, and a limited physical exam. While you’ll be able to discuss many aspects of your health, it’s not intended to address a single or particular health concern.

The periodic health visit is insured by OHIP once per patient per 12-month period. If a physician determines a complete history and physical examination is necessary (for a patient with chronic illness and/or health issues, for example) the physician will request a full physical exam, which OHIP will cover (Source: Ontario Ministry of Health).
