In today’s edition of Garbage Healthcare, I learned that if a medication is discussed during what you think is a preventive care visit, the provider then codes it as an office visit.

So what you’re saying is 1) Big Healthcare keeps moving the goal posts; 2) you no longer know what topics are considered “routine” vs “non-preventive;” 3) don’t see a doctor yearly because it eats up time & money and actually adds stress, potentially taking a few months off your life.
