Not Medically Necessary???

I hear all too often "I will only come in if it is covered by my insurance."  Well, thats fine.  Just Keep this in mind.  
 
This is a quote from Medicare Guidelines, Section 2251.3:
 
"A treatment plan that seeks to prevent disease, promote health, and prolong and enhance the quality of life; or therapy that is performed to maintain or prevent deterioration of a chronic condition is deemed not medically necessary"...
 
Sorry people... Medicare, the Government, and your insurance company DO NOT CARE if you are actually "Healthy".
