Your provider is the one that coded the visit that way so you should be mad at the provider.

that is not normal. That is a total medical scam. Find a different practice.

No matter the reasoning, this is messed up, and insurance is the biggest scam ever.

The insurance only pays for vitals, a physical exam and reviewing you meds. That’s what they consider a wellness. Anything else has to be a separate visit otherwise the office won’t get paid.

I was ASKED about my diet and exercise at a wellness visit which I wasn’t concerned about did not bring up and then they billed it as if I was provided counseling on diet/exercise 🤦🏼♀️

Its so insane but a lot of offices have a sign that says if you come for your wellness visit but if you say you have an issue they then charge you for a different visit per insurance requirements

When you check in they then should give you a menu like a restaurant with prices of what is covered and what is not and if you want to discuss anything else this is the price, that’s is what it has come down to.

this happened to my husband and then when I went to the doctor (for the first time in like 15 years) I was afraid to even talk about my health in any way. after the appointment (which still had a co pay) I was like why did I even go??

Yeah, this is the way doctors offices and insurance work. Anything outside of the wellness visit cost extra. A few years ago I was annoyed because on a wellness visit they asked for a urine sample. The testing was covered, but I was charged for the collection. Um, no one collected it for me; I’m the one that stood there with the cup.

I think all offices do this now. My doctor has a sign posted on what you can’t talk about at your wellness appointment. It’s crazy because the doctors ask how you’re doing and if you answer, you’re charged. What’s the point of a wellness visit if you can’t discuss your wellness? I’m in Florida.

As a physician, I get why you were confused, but this is totally appropriate billing. Insurance companies make the rules about how we bill and not billing for your additional concern of anemia would be considered insurance fraud. So if we bill correctly, patients are angry, if we bill incorrectly, insurance companies come after us. They will see that an order was put in for bloodwork not typical for a wellness visit and come after the doctor for not billing for the problem. Being a doctor is exhausting.

Because you discussed your health, in a health visit- that’s a problem?!

Yep! My sons doctor asked how his medicine is going at his well visit. I said no issues no need for any changes to it. They charged me for the well visit and a med check appointment.

I work in healthcare and still have no clue what’s relevant to a wellness visit. Why wouldn’t med updates be? Why not standard labs ?

But remember. The doctor is the one entering the details into their system for the coding and billing. Sooo. I think you should switch doctors. Perhaps find a new one for next year’s free visit.

I guess we are just supposed to go to these visits and say nothing? What is the point of any of this?

It’s not the doctors office.. it’s the insurance that will not pay for it.. a wellness visit is considered “preventative” where they would just order a basic lab panel.. once they start ordering test and medication now they’re “evaluating and treating” so now it’s not considered a “well” visit.. it’s out of our control 😩 but i see the patient frustration as well but that’s how insurance pays

The last time I went to my annual gyno appointment, she asked if I had any questions or concerns about anything. I looked her dead in the eye and said “Even if I did, I wouldn’t say anything because yall are going to charge me for a separate appointment.” The nurse was looking at us like this 😳

Change doctors. That is not normal. I talk about everything with my primary doc at my wellness visit.
