It seems as if everyone I know makes appointments for this "wellness" visit to doctors. How insane! You go to a doctor even though you feel fine? I thought they were for sick people. But I've now crossed that reason off my list. Maybe I'd show up at an E.R. for a broken bone, but I'm still thinking on that one.

My medicare plan incentivizes you with $15 on a debit card if you do a wellness check. Must be they were having trouble getting people to do these!

Mine too! The robo calls for my “in-home 😳😖wellness visit” come at least weekly. And I get a $40 Visa gift card for letting a stranger into my house to check my BP and make sure I am “safe”. Grrr!
