Summary

This study tested whether a simple outreach program could help more people with Medicare get their yearly free checkup. Researchers randomly assigned doctors and their patients to receive early or delayed reminders. The goal was to see if this approach could reduce racial and ethnic gaps in who gets these important visits.
