    My HMO post the results online. I just need to login and look at it. Anything outside of norms is in red with a hyperlink. If it's something I don't understand or needs attention; I can do a follow-up appointment. Anything close to the edge of normal, can usually be addressed by adjustment in diet or exercise. Part of being an adult is taking responsibility for your own actions or you can simply do the easy thing and take drugs to manage your condition.o_O No offense to anyone with a chronic condition....

    But Medicare specifically states it is not a routine physical and they do not cover the physical or any routine visit other than the Wellness visit.

    It is right in the Medicare handbook they mail out to you. I think it is online now too.
