Monday

Going in for Labs this morning at Atrium Health.

I got a message this morning that lets me know my appointment is as it should be with my doctor.
Glad to know everything should be fine.

Annual Physical or Wellness?
Participants Sara Furr, MD
Victoria Lynn Noah

Message from Jules, Feb 28, 8:07 AM I am scheduled for a visit with Dr. Sara Furr on March 4. Is it more appropriate to be an Annual Physical rather than a Wellness exam? No one explained any difference between Wellness and Physical.
I know I need to continue on my Rosuvastatin 5mg that Dr. Furr prescribed and I assume that requires blood labs, so should this actually be an annual checkup instead?
How should this appointment be billed to Medicare?

Hello,
Since you are on medicare, they usually will not cover an annual physical. She treats the wellness' as a physical with patients who are on medicare. It will be billed to Medicare as Medicare Wellness Visit. Labs are also in, so you can stop by when you are fasting to get them.

I am very relieved that everything is set up correctly after the fiasco with Novant.
