My current provider encourages regular, frequent use of their services for annual visits, in-home evaluations by nurse practitioners, tests, and screenings. I'm fortunate enough to be in good health and follow Dr. McD's recommendations re: appropriate use of physician services.
My provider seems to be very disappointed in that I'm not helping them to bill for anything other than routine vaccinations. I get frequent encouragement to use more services, which I do not need. (Wellness education is never on-offer, for some reason...
)As a retiree, I'm of an age when their is always something "wrong" which is treatable, but I just don't have any serious issues. Many of my peers are frequent visitors to their doctors and I don't see them benefiting. I simply concentrate on improvinging my lifestyle.
I'd like to find a provider that will let me manage my health issues and seek professional services when I deem them appropriate.
