Valin Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 PJ Media: Dr. Peter Weiss 11/24/12 (Snip) Now, don’t get me wrong, Obamacare is awful. Forget all the “free stuff” it provides. Children covered on their parents’ plan until 26 years of age? A scam, making young adults — excuse me, children — pay for complete, comprehensive health insurance when all they need and should pay for is major catastrophe insurance. Then there is the “annual ” or “preventative” exam, which according to Obamacare is “free.” You gotta love this stuff. I wish I had the chutzpah of the people who wrote Obamacare. What they did not tell you, and I am, is that it covers absolutely nothing more than the bare minimum. (Snip) I have now posted a notice in my office and each exam room stating exactly what Obamacare will cover for those yearly visits. Remember Obama promised this as a free exam — no co-pay, no deductible, no charge. That’s fine and dandy if you are healthy and have no complaints. However, we are obligated by law to code specifically for the reason of the visit. An annual exam is one specific code; you can not mix this with another code, say, for rectal bleeding. This annual visit covers the exam and “discussion about the status of previously diagnosed stable conditions.” That’s the exact wording under that code — insurance will not cover any new ailment under that code. If you are here for that annual exam, you will not be covered if you want to discuss any new ailment or unstable condition. I cannot bait and switch to another code — that’s illegal. We, the physicians, are audited all the time and can lose our license for insurance fraud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveliberty Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Actually, I think that I should not be making any long range plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Actually, I think that I should not be making any long range plans. You don't have to that anymore. I understand there is soon going to be a Federal personal Planning Dept., they will plan everything in your life for you. Won't that be GREAT!!! Just think no more pesky decisions on what to eat, what to wear, Coke or Pepsi...AH it will be...well Heaven on Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember 2nd terms rarely work out well. Take comfort in that. It's not much comfort, but it's all I've got right now. People like Darrell Issa are going to be very very busy in the coming years...Fast & Furious, Solyndra, Benghazi, etc. are going to give them plenty to do.

pollyannaish Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 It is true. Even before Obamacare, it was amazing what the government required. This makes it much, much worse. And I KNOW it is not in the best interest of the patient. I've seen it up close and personal. My goal is to live a good life and hope for the best at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the same thing, @saveliberty, which isn't all bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
