Well visits Well visits have $0 co-pay (free of charge!) The determinant of whether an office visit is a well visit is whether it is recorded as a “v – code”. The doctor’s office can tell you if part or all of your visit will use “v - codes”
Well visits (continued) Well visits include • Office visit • Well baby visits • Routine, non-diagnostic lab charges • Colonoscopy • Mammogram • Prostate exam • Paps NOTE: These items would need to be recorded as “v – codes”, routine NOT diagnostic
