Endoscopy -- covered by Insurance?

[Vikingsfan8178 62]

My end is scheduled for Tuesday and I just realized that I have only assumed that would be covered by insurance (with my typical co-pays and such).

I am going to get with the office staff on Monday to make sure, but I figured I would ask you guys as well.

I guess the docs must have some kind of diagnosis code or reason they use in order to make it medically necessary to have the test?

Everything about my VSG surgery was covered. I did have a deductible of $5000 overall, but every test, x-ray, exam, doctor visit, and blood work was at least partially covered by my insurance.

This is what I do for a living, I check patient benefits who are having colonoscopies and gastroscopies. It depends on what your outpatient benefits are for procedures being done in an ambulatory surgical center or hospital. You may have a deductible or coinsurance depending on your benefits.
