Advanced Physical Exam (ACE)

Advanced Physical Exam (ACE) Q & A

What is the Advanced Physical Exam (ACE)?

ACE goes beyond a routine annual physical by bringing together advanced clinical screening and, when selected, wellness and functional health assessments. It is designed to help you better understand your health today, establish a more meaningful baseline, and identify what may deserve attention next. Please note that ACE is a structured assessment pathway, not a menu of individual tests selected separately.

Who is the ACE program for?

ACE may be appropriate for adults who want to:

• Establish a more detailed health baseline.
• Take a proactive approach to healthy aging.
• Better understand changes in energy, sleep, strength, balance, mobility, or endurance.
• Review risk factors for heart disease, diabetes, stroke, or other chronic conditions.
• Receive broader health insight than a routine annual physical provides.

How does the ACE program work?

ACE provides a clear, guided path to better health insight through five steps:

• Step 1. Initial Physician Consultation: Meet with your provider to review your medical history, current concerns, medications, health goals, and whether ACE is appropriate for you.
• Step 2. Choose Your Assessment Pathway: Your provider may recommend both parts of ACE for the most complete picture of your health. You can choose the Advanced Clinical Assessment alone, or the Advanced Clinical + Wellness, Fitness & Functional Assessment.
• Step 3. Complete Your Assessment: The Advanced Clinical Assessment is typically coordinated into one visit. If you choose the combined pathway, your wellness, fitness, and functional assessment is completed on a separate day.
• Step 4. Review Your Results: Meet with your physician to review findings, discuss relevant health risks and priorities, and understand what the results may mean for you.
• Step 5. Personalized Next Steps: Recommendations may include follow-up care, lifestyle strategies, additional testing, customized programs, or treatment based on your results and goals.
