What a well-woman exam near you in Greeley includes
A well-woman exam is the once-a-year visit that checks the parts of a woman’s health that get skipped at sick visits. At NOCO Healthcare, a women-owned clinic at 1130 38th Avenue in Greeley, the exam is done by a board-certified family nurse practitioner and usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. It covers your health history and medications, blood pressure, weight, and vital signs, a breast exam, a pelvic exam, and a Pap test or HPV test when you are due on the screening schedule. It is also the right time to talk about periods, birth control, perimenopause symptoms, sexual health, mood, and sleep, and to order the labs and referrals (mammogram, bone density) that go with your age.
Most insurance plans, including Health First Colorado (Medicaid) and Medicare, cover one preventive well-woman visit a year with no copay. If a problem comes up during the visit, such as a new symptom that needs testing or treatment, that part can be billed as a separate visit, and the front desk will tell you before anything is done. For the full range of care at the clinic, see our women’s clinic in Greeley.

Pap smears, HPV tests, and the screenings that come with your age
Women searching for a Pap smear near me usually want to know two things: whether they are due, and whether it will be done at the visit. At NOCO Healthcare the answer to the second is yes, in the office, during the well-woman exam. Whether you are due depends on your age and your last result:
- Ages 21 to 29: a Pap test every 3 years
- Ages 30 to 65: a Pap test every 3 years, an HPV test every 5 years, or both together every 5 years
- After 65, or after a hysterectomy for a non-cancer reason: screening usually stops if past results were normal
- Any age: sooner if a past Pap or HPV result was abnormal, or if you have symptoms such as bleeding after sex or between periods
The exam also covers the screenings that are not done in the clinic but are ordered from it: a screening mammogram at an imaging center starting at age 40 and repeated every one to two years, a bone density (DEXA) scan at 65 or earlier with risk factors, cholesterol and blood sugar labs drawn in the office, and STD testing when you want it. NOCO Healthcare does not have mammography on site; the referral goes to a Greeley imaging center and the result comes back to your chart here.
Overdue for Your Annual Exam and Dreading the Call?
Many women put off the well-woman exam for years, usually because the last one felt rushed, or because the first available appointment was months out and life got in the way. That is common, and nobody here will lecture you about it.
Call NOCO Healthcare and the front desk will get you an appointment within the week in most cases. The visit itself is unhurried, every step is explained before it happens, and if you would rather see a woman, say so when you book.

Who does the exam
Well-woman exams at NOCO Healthcare are performed by board-certified family nurse practitioners (FNP-C). The practice was founded by Sheree Montoya, FNP-C, after more than 25 years in healthcare, and it is women-owned. Several of the nurse practitioners are women, including Sheree, Erika Kuhn, FNP-C, who is bilingual in English and Spanish, and Summer Woodward, FNP-C. If seeing a woman matters to you, tell the front desk when you call and the visit will be scheduled that way.
Because NOCO Healthcare is a family practice as well as a women’s clinic, the same provider who does your annual exam can manage your blood pressure, thyroid, or anxiety, place or remove an IUD in Greeley, review birth control in Greeley, run STD testing in Greeley, and start hormone therapy when labs say it is time. One chart, one front desk, one provider who knows your history.
What to expect at your well-woman exam in Greeley
Before the visit, the front desk confirms your coverage and asks for records from your previous clinic so your last Pap result and mammogram date are in the chart. Bring your insurance card, your medication list, and the date of your last period. You do not need to shave, douche, or prepare in any way, and you can be seen during your period if the timing works out that way.
During the visit, you talk first. The nurse practitioner reviews your history and anything you want to raise, then does the breast and pelvic exam and the Pap or HPV sample if you are due, which takes a few minutes. Labs are drawn in the office. Afterward, results are reviewed with you by phone or at a follow-up, and referrals for a mammogram or bone density scan are sent the same day. Patients come to NOCO Healthcare for the annual exam from across Greeley and from Evans, Windsor, Eaton, Loveland, and Fort Collins, and the Greeley clinic is a short walk from the Gallop bus stops at 35th Avenue and West 10th Street.
Worried About the Cost, or Whether Your Plan Covers It?
A lot of women skip the annual exam because they are not sure what it will cost, especially if they are between jobs, on Medicaid, or paying out of pocket.
Most plans, Health First Colorado, and Medicare cover the preventive well-woman visit with no copay, and NOCO Healthcare quotes self-pay prices before you come in. Colorado's Women's Wellness Connection program also provides free breast and cervical cancer screening for eligible women; ask the front desk about it.
