keep in mind I am 62 and not well versed on technology....  :)&lt;br /&gt;
I am thinking at one of our employee meetings with BCBS/IL representative, heard it mentioned diabetes had an optometry wellness yearly exam, with it being at no cost to employee..&lt;br /&gt;
I had vision exam back in Feb&amp;#39;2019 and have been getting invoices from optometrist monthly since, as they show diabetes eye exams are not covered under wellness exam..&lt;br /&gt;
I have been getting invoices from optometrist, as I have not had confirmation from BCBS/IL [through our corporate HR manager]...&lt;br /&gt;
next invoice will include late charges...&lt;br /&gt;
I am just trying to get a simple answer as to whether the exam is provided as annual wellness exam, with no out of pocket expenses..&lt;br /&gt;
do not have an issue in paying the invoice, IF I owe it..however, if it IS provided through Thermos policy, feel it should be paid by BCBS..&lt;br /&gt;
thanks much!&lt;br /&gt;
