What test or preventative procedure are you interested in that is not covered???

The blood tests in question were probably vitamin D or possibly too frequent lipid testing.

I see you did discover the initial physical exam which eluded you for a few posts....

It didn't "elude" me. It was irrelevant so I ignored it. The topic on the table was "routine physical exams," which the article claimed were not covered and which you vehemently challenged.

The web page you provided has a list of "topics." One is the "'Welcome to Medicare' Physical Exam." It is the first item on the list. Further down, in alphabetical order, is "Physical Exams (routine)." If you follow that latter link you find the quote I offered, "Routine physical exams are not covered by Medicare."

I no longer expect any analysis from you but, since you have such an appreciation for facts, I do expect you to deal adequately with facts. Unless, of course, you don't consider a statement from Medicare about what Medicare covers to be a "real" fact. <g>

If you plan to continue insisting that Medicare provides routine physical exams, you're going to have to come up with something better. You can't get there via analysis. And both facts and authority are against you. Anything else in your toolkit?
