Memory Issues?

When the "Wellness Exam" came out I saw it as a good way to bilk money out of Medicare.

Doctor offices were ringing my phone off the hook. I never did take them up on it because they get paid "X" amount of money for doing diddly squat.

A BP check and a bunch of questions for five minutes and out the door. I have had Medicare clients say they didn't even look at their eyes, ears, nose or throat or even lay a stethoscope on their chest or back.

What a waste of taxpayer money.

I agree. I am 82 and my last wellness "exam" was done by a very nice lady who had a degree in Social Science.
