You can't bring up any concerns or they'll charge it differently and Medicare won't cover it, but you'll get charged for it.

Are there any penalties for refusing to take the test (with original MC) ?

I refuse to schedule a wellness exam.

I do the Medicare Wellness Exam to get my blood pressure RX refilled.  They also do blood work at that time and it is covered.  Otherwise it would cost me $120.00
