[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This bugs me too.

I go to two places in my head.

1. Attempt to not bring anything up. They take my vitals and tests, just here for a “checkup.” Don’t say anything. When they ask stuff, answer normally, positively, “fine.” Etc.

2. Or, just forget about the free preventive. Go to my checkups, or anytime I want to go, and say all the things that bother me.

I would go with #2, but I really really hate the new doctor they assigned me, and I try to keep quiet. Must switch offices entirely, soon.[/quote]

I’m just going to straight up say to the doctor “I’d love to answer your questions honestly, but I can’t because your biller will charge me for a full additional office visit even though I’m already here and we aren’t going over our allotted time.”[/quote]

That makes sense. Then at the end of your free preventative appointment, you'll make another appointment for your specific questions. Two trips but only one copay.  Win - I guess?[/quote]
