Medicare Coverage Gaps Highlight Need for Clarity in Healthcare Billing
Seniors navigating Medicare Part B face unexpected billing pitfalls when wellness visits inadvertently become routine physical exams. Unlike private insurers, Medicare doesn't cover annual physicals—a distinction costing beneficiaries hundreds in uncovered fees. Physicians must carefully code visits to avoid triggering patient liabilities.
This administrative friction mirrors challenges in crypto markets, where misclassified transactions (e.g., trading a wellness visit-like 'BTC' spot trade as a physical exam-like 'BTC' futures position) create tax or regulatory exposures. Just as Medicare patients benefit from clear coding, crypto traders require precise execution venues—whether 'binance' for spot or 'bybit' for derivatives—to optimize outcomes.
