No. The IPPE is not a routine physical checkup that some seniors may get periodically from their physician or other qualified non-physician practitioner. The IPPE is an introduction to Medicare and covered benefits and focuses on health promotion and disease prevention and detection to help beneficiaries stay well. Medicare does not cover routine physical examinations. Are clinical laboratory tests part of the IPPE? No. The IPPE does not include any clinical laboratory tests, but you may make referrals for such tests as part of the IPPE, if appropriate. Do deductible or coinsurance/copayment apply for the IPPE?No. Medicare waives both the coinsurance/copayment and the Medicare Part B deductible for the IPPE If a beneficiary enrolls in Medicare in 2016, can he or she have the IPPE in 2017 if it was not performed in 2016? A beneficiary who has not yet had an IPPE and whose initial enrollment in Medicare Part B began in 2016 is eligible for an IPPE in 2017 as long as it is done within 12 months of the beneficiary’s first Medicare Part B enrollment effective date.
