I scheduled my annual physical checkup at my family doctor's office. This is covered at 100% by my health insurance company once per year. They only do physicals during the day, so I made sure to wait for a day that I had child care. I arrived at the visit and was told I had no copayment because this was an annual physical visit. I was given a questionnaire to fill out that is given only to those patients receiving a physical. I filled out the questionnaire and saw the doctor. He checked my ears, nose, throat, heart, lungs, and flexibility as expected. Then sent me for a complete blood work up, as usual for this kind of visit. I had asked for an EKG because that is an included test with an annual physical and he refused to order one. While talking during the visit he asked about my overall health.i had told him I was seeing a few specialist for headaches and he said he would prescribe me Naproxen (Aleve) an over the counter drug to see if that helped. The visit was over. I left the office and called my OBGYN who explained that. Naproxen is not safe to take during pregnancy as it can cause birth defects, so this should never have been prescribed. I then received a bill for a $25 copayment because the doctor changed the visit in the computer from annual physical to regular office visit, triggering a $25 copayment to be applied. His explanation was because I had told him I had headaches this was a regular office visit. There is nothing on the new holland family medicine website or policy that states in writing that you may not mention any pain you have been having during your annual physical. Nothing out of the ordinary physical was done during the visit. In fact he potentially harmed my unborn child by prescribing an unsafe medicine. I called and complained of the situation to the office supervisor and she told me the bill cannot be changed and that I owe the $25 copayment. Even though I was never informed of the doctor changing the appointment type during the visit.
