"Uncovered: Medicare's Exclusion of Physical Exams"

Medicare does not cover annual physical exams, but it does provide preventive services such as the "Welcome to Medicare" visit and the annual wellness visit, which include measurements, screenings, counseling, and referrals for preventive care. While these visits are not traditional physical exams, they are designed to help beneficiaries stay healthy. It's important to be aware of the coverage and potential costs associated with medical issues addressed during these visits, and to verify coverage details with healthcare providers and insurance plans.
