and insure you are taking care of yourself a follow up after office visits - did you do what was discussed , eating right etc.. It all comes down to cost
Some of it will be very intrusive and when I heard about it in a plan meeting I just was glad that at present, I don't have any medical problems but looks like you live long enough they will be on you just cuz you are old too.even if you are not taking pills if you are insured
As you said they pay the bills
and they are trying to pay less
sometimes they contract the hospital group to do this too.
