For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done? (sh.itjust.works)

Biologically male procedures only. EDIT: If the two people who downvoted this question could explain their reasoning, I would be super interested. No judgements. This is a safe space!

Yeah, it's the screening that's free. If that turns something up, then it transitions to "care."

I've had the same experience with "wellness" check-ups: if I mention some complaint to the doc during the visit, it suddenly becomes "visit with complaint" and costs me $120.
