> They still provide no additional cost annual physicals, so you'll get the required yearly screening.

Well, until you find out that you can only get the physical for free, and physicals are really not worth much. If you discuss anything at all with your doctor that is outside a routine physical, ask any questions, get any advice, and he codes it when he submits the bill -- it won't be free at all, it'll cost you a couple hundred bucks. So there is incentive not to bother.

If that happens, honestly it is time to get a different doctor. :) Good primary care doctors should be incentivized not to do that as it is a great way to churn patients.

That is a good point. My current doctor hasn't yet done this to me. Past doctors for sure, but my current GP is pretty laid back.
