Hello
I would like to get a copy of my insurance coverage packet/book. Mine has disappeared and I would really appreciate a copy.
I would really like to know what my insurance coverage covers and what it doesn't. Thank You for your time. Tina Robles
Hi Randa, Claims are applied according to your plan's benefits for the services billed by your doctor. If your provider bills a colonoscopy as a routine service it would process according to your plan's routine benefits. If they bill the service as non-routine then your routine benefits would not apply. It is up to the provider how they bill these services.
It's important to contact us to verify your plans benefits and important to contact your doctor to discuss how they will bill a service. ~ Kayla
We are encouraged to have a colonoscopy done and told it is covered, but you are not told the whole story. I had this procedure done and was told by Blue cross it was covered under my policy as a routine physical. Not true and it cost me $2000.00, I think you should be ashamed, since they found something it was not covered, and I have to pay $2000.00 that I do not have.
