In order to schedule a wellness visit my new doctor required a preliminary office visit to discuss my history and review prior testing (mammograms, etc). There was a charge of about $200 for this office visit. So I could not get a free wellness checkup without spending this $200 first. Why is this preliminary visit NOT free and included in the wellness checkup?
