[quote=Anonymous]My BCBS high-deductible plan covered the "visit" portion ($200) of my annual physical, but covered none of the associated blood tests: Complete Blood Count (CBC), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), Lipid Panel, Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Just the basic stuff, no vitamin panels or anything exotic. Total cost was $700, with the insurance negotiated rate bringing it down to $500. I don't understand how insurance is allowed to not cover these sorts of basic screens. No wonder most Americans are so unhealthy. How many can afford a $500 bill when they aren't even sick?[/quote]
