OT: Malicious Compliance in Health Care

@VeeEnn the topic here is the Medicare “Wellness Visit” which is not designed to diagnose or treat any specific medical issue but rather to discuss general lifestyle issues for health maintenance.

I know as much about these issues as I need to so I no longer bother with a “Wellness Visit.” If a patient so much as mentions an actual medical problem (such as @intercst’s leg) the visit is no longer a “Wellness Visit” and is billed as a medical visit.
