Mine is done every year. It’s called the annual Wellness exam. My husband’s doctor doesn’t do it. He just writes down that he does, I guess. The “draw the clock with the time, remember the three words, etc.” is the cognitive part of the Medicare Wellness exam to check memory. My doctor doesn’t like it because it requires double the time to do than a regular appointment does. She asks about any falls and other stupid stuff.
When she did my first one, she let me draw the clock face and put in the time. When she did the second one the face was already drawn and she said to draw the hands and time. When I asked about it she laughed and said too many were putting a digital clock with the time written on it and laughed. She’s kind of cool about most things so the vax push really has me wondering and it’s annoying.
If you go to a private doctor that you pay for yourself, I think you should be able to opt out.
When Home Health nurses first started coming weekly to see my husband, she said that “the Government finally did something right and now pay 100% for 9 weeks of home health”. She said that if more time is needed that it can be re-evaluated and extended. His last HH visit was this week, but the physical therapy part has been extended for another month. IMO, the Wellness exam is intrusive and tells the government how many elderly people out there are fragile, having falls, bad memories, and other old people problems. The main nurse that did his evaluation said that it’s the government’s way of keeping the elderly out of nursing homes and hospitals that cost a lot more.
