Dear Patient,
You are scheduled for a full preventive care examination, otherwise knowns as an “Annual Wellness” or Physical Exam”. This type of visit includes a check of your height, weight, bloodwork, and vital signs and recommendations for preventative care and on-going health maintenance.
However, if you have new or acute symptoms that you want to address during this visit or have chronic conditions that need follow up, then it will also be billed as a problem-focused visit in addition to your preventative visit.
Your medical insurance plan likely covers preventative care visits differently than problem-focused visits, which may in turn affect your financial responsibilities, including co-payments or deductibles. We want you to be aware of these facts.
If you have any questions about this policy, please speak to one of the Patient Service Representatives at our Front Desk.
Sincerely,
Eileen Testa
