How is an Executive Health Assessment different
from a physical with a family physician?
Best Doctors Insurance takes a proactive approach to health care whereas the Canadian health care system has a tendency to be reactive. For most Canadian patients, they actually see their doctor for approximately 10 minutes during an annual physical examination. They may wait several days (or longer) for test results. In most cases, a patient only hears from their doctor’s office if there is an issue with their test results. Many Best Doctors Insurance® plan members will tell you that an executive health assessment changed their life. Why? With in-depth screening to detect diseases like cancer and diabetes with a doctor actively focused on their specific risk factors, it changed their quality of life.
What’s included in an Executive Health Assessment?
• The appointment is scheduled the same week of the request.
• Nutritious meals are provided during the appointment
• Up to 15 diagnostic tests (specific to gender/age/current health) are conducted
• Same-day results are discussed during a private 45 minute consultation with the doctor
• A customized health plan, including lifestyle changes or treatment, is created with the doctor
