thanks for posting your eob. What I would suggest this says is that certain services are covered under the monthly check that the insurance sends to your doctor whether (or weather) or not you are seen. Dr. X gets a check for having you on his panel. Now the periodic well exam is one of those services. So it is not that he is not being paid, he is expected to do well exams on you, as many as he thinks you need. So he is getting paid, just not as a fee for service.
The $10 payment is for recording your BMI and making a plan to address any nutritional concerns related to your BMI. I'm not sure why that would even be an additional payment so it is nice they gave that amount.
Does not seem to have been a charge listed for the ear cleaning.
