BCBS of AL, PPO.
Say under exclusions:
Routine services, such as periodic physical examinations; screening examinations; immunizations; and services or tests not related to a specific diagnosis, illness, injury, set of symptoms, or maternity care, except for those preventive services specifically covered under Preventive care, adult and child in Sections 5(a) and 5(c) and screenings specifically listed on pages 31-33;
Section 5(a) preventive care (I'm excluding the one's that are obviously not related to std's):
History and risk assessment
• Urinalysis
• General health panel
• Basic or comprehensive metabolic panel test
• Chlamydial infection test
• Cervical cancer tests (including Pap tests)
Nothing relating to std tests in section 5c.
Pages 31-33 is section 5a
I'm not seeing anything in policy about std testing. Is it usually covered? I have good coverage through the government.
Also, should I go to the gyno or family dr for a std test?
