Have you looked at any Medicare link? Well, gee, let's see... Yes. I've read quite a bit about Medicare. I've read the Medicare manual and the Blue Cross manual and the manual on how the two work together. And I've done some research on the Medicare site for posts on this thread. Yes, I've read it. Apparently you don't even read your own posts. No, it does not cover "routine physicals exams." Medicare is quite clear about that if you just read. OTOH, it covers "an initial preventive physical examination" in the first six months you are in the program. It's a one-off thing. (Notice what's covered in the "initial preventive physical examination." " A physical examination to include an individual's height, weight, blood pressure, visual acuity, and measurement of body mass index." There's nothing there you couldn't do yourself, for heaven's sake. Where's the chest xray? The blood work? That's not a physical exam. It's an entrance interview.)
