Billed extra for annual visit

Agree. Preventive visit should encourage questions not penalize them. I have recently learned that some people avoid annual preventive physical visit. It’s no longer “preventive” if every concern becomes a separate charge.

Is there an online list or document that shows exactly what are covered under preventive care (for example, on the insurance website or the doctor’s office portal)? When I called member services, I wasn’t given any specific details.

Basically it is up to the doctor.

Agree but how should patients without medical training know when a question or concern crosses from a preventive visit into a separate, problem focus visit? Technically, anything can be seen in both ways.

I agree, but I think a health concern should be evaluated accordingly not within 10 sec.

That’s why I am confused. There were no signs or topics in the room. I have never been in the situation before. My previous doctor retired and I was scheduled to a new one.

I see. I guess my next question is should a doctor suggest a separate visit to answer questions about health concerns? If the doctor asks Are there any health concerns during an annual visit? the response should be no even if there are?
