In Reply to: I have Blue Medicare HMO and posted by it covered everything (procedure+anesth) but (sm) on Tue, Jul 19 2022 at 09:31 AM CDT:
: I did call ahead to make sure the provider was covered as he is not in our usual big healthcare network. He has his own private GI company. We still wanted to keep him as he was our past GI for many years.
: I think BCBS said there might be a $200 co-pay if any biopsies were taken but anesthesia, procedure, facility were all covered. Our supplement is BCBS which kind of takes charge for Medicare and we have "Blue Medicare HMO" cards so we call BCBS directly for any benefit questions.
