Back in December, I had my annual ob/gyn visit. Because of some issues, she suggested that I have an ultrasound done to check for fibroids. They were able to schedule it only 2 days later - results showed everything was fine.
The bill was submitted to my insurance company and the charges were applied to my $1500.00 deductible. I asked why this wasn't paid. I was told because it was due to a condition. If it was coded as Preventive Care then it would have been paid. I told them it was done because of my yearly visit.
I called my doctor several times but I always get a call back from someone else - the records department, the nurse, etc. Everyone is going by what the doctor wrote but I don't even know if they have talked to her and explain that my insurance company won't pay anything on this.
Is there anything that I can do to get this claim paid? It seems as though I am going around in circles and not getting anywhere.
