Wellness Exams, School & Athletic Physicals
Wellness and annual exams
Please be advised that preventative visits are limited according to insurance company guidelines. Problem based issues cannot be discussed at a wellness/annual visit.
At a wellness/annual visit the insurance company pays for the provider to assess the patient’s health and for certain screenings of any undiagnosed issues. If the patient discusses any prior or current ailments, the visit may no longer be considered a wellness/annual. It will then be coded and billed as an office visit and any applicable co-pays, deductible or co-insurance will be due from the patient. If the patient has other ailments needing to be discussed or the patient becomes ill prior to this wellness/annual, a separate visit will be required.
SRMC providers are more than happy to review patient issues, but a separate visit must be billed according to standard wellness billing guidelines.
It is important to review the individual policy regarding the insurance company’s preventative schedule as these vary by insurance. For questions concerning insurance coverage contact the company’s human resources department or insurance supplier for more information.
School and athletic physicals
Some insurances will cover an annual wellness visit at no cost to the patient. If the child has not had an annual exam within the last 365 days, this service can be provided as their annual wellness visits as it meets and exceeds the requirements of a school physical. This will ensure the child receives the best care at the lowest cost to the guarantor. Check with the insurance company to verify the plan has wellness coverage before scheduling a visit, as coverage varies by policy.
