DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently turned 65 and changed primary doctors because my previous doctor did not accept Medicare patients. I very much liked my new doctor. He ordered a vitamin D test. However, when I got to the lab, they gave me something to sign because Medicare might not cover the test. (It was about a $250 cost.) I declined the test.
