I could be wrong, but I don't think the wellness visit is mandatory. Maybe your doctor is just trying to schedule another visit they can bill.

Like I said.....I don't understand.
You're right. It's not mandatory. Just recently I received notice from Medicare that I'm entitled to one and haven't and I haven't had one since I started on Medicare. Noting in the notice said I had to have one. It was just a reminder that I can if I choose to.
