When you get a physical can they check for fertility problems or do you have to schedule 2 appointments

Question

Answer

Depends on your insurance plans.
Most insurance companies cover a "wellness" visit once a year and usually fertility isn't covered because it's not in the realm of preventative medicine - CV disease, diabetes, hypertension, cancer screenings (breast, colon, cervical, etc), and immunizations. Also I tell my patients we don't routinely check for fertility (I work in family private medicine). I usually refer them to fertility or OB for a more in depth evalution and blood work that I'm not 100% familiar with. It's best to check with the nurses or front desk staff before scheduling an appointment so you won't be disappointed when you don't get the answer you want from your provider. Best of luck!

Answer

Just tell them in advance and most doctors will.
