I had my so called "Medicare Annual Wellness Visit" today and in my opinion it was totally worthless. Medicare does not pay for an annual physical ( an annual physical at my doctor's office would cost me $300 plus out of pocket) so I decided to try the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit which is paid by Medicare. A total waste time. A nurse did my height and weight, took my blood pressure and temperature. Then I saw a medical social worker who asked me a few questions (for example she asked me if I had experienced anxiety over the last 2 weeks and I said yes --I was anxious about the coronavirus and she said she was too). She gave me 3 words to remember for a few minutes--I can still remember them 12 hours later--banana, chair, sunshine. In all took about 15 minutes--I never saw a doctor or a PA. Total waste of my time--I won't be doing that again.
I guess I will just wait until I feel sick and go to the doctor--Medicare does pay for 80% of that and my supplement pays the rest. Wouldn't it be better for Medicare to pay for an annual physical and keep us old geezers healthy? SMH
