That’s how the Annual Wellness visit works with Medicare. It has gotten so difficult to make an appointment to see my GP, as opposed to Emergency Care, that I saved a couple of things to ask my doc during the annual checkup. She explained to me that those would normally be billed as a separate visit but decided that since she didn’t need to take x-rays or do additional testing that she wouldn’t. Kind of a crazy system, partly because of the doctor shortage.
