[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A free preventative care visit (or a “checkup”) is for the appropriate health screenings ONLY. If you have other concerns, you are likely going to pay your copay. It’s not new or a scam, except to the extent that the entire system is a scam.[/quote] What are those screenings? The PCP isn't going to do a mammogram or a colonoscopy or a pap smear or a proper skin check or a cardiac assessment or an eye exam or vaccinations. Mine just checks off on the computer that I've had these things done by other specialists or providers. I only turn up because the system pretends this person coordinates my care and because I have to write the name of a PCP on forms. Maybe it's more useful for someone else not already seeing a team of specialists.[/quote]
