Can someone explain to me the point of an annual physical if your provider tells you that you can't report any health concerns, can't refill your prescriptions, and you don't need an "annual pap smear" because you had one SIX YEARS AGO?

@HayiWena That's awful. What do they mean "you can't report any health concerns"? What happens if you do?

@matthewconroy Then they charge you for a different category of visit. The health insurance company will charge them with fraud if they try and bill both your annual visit and your "issues" visit on the same day. So even if you made two appointments that wouldn't work from a billing perspective. And you also can't have your bloodwork called in ahead of your annual physical, you have to go back for that and then again for the discussion of your results.

@HayiWena Wow, that's terrible. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
