What if I’m a Medicare patient?
A. Medicare will not be billed for the services that are included in the Annual Fee; the Comprehensive Preventive Medical Examination and Personal Wellness Plan, because they are not covered benefits. Other services, such as follow-up office visits, will be billed to Medicare as usual and co-pays and deductibles will be charged as they have been in the past. As in the past, you will continue to use your Medicare coverage for laboratory fees, x-rays, other specialist physician services, and hospital services.
