Well Woman Annual Exam

Talked to Jennifer with BCBS 10/11/13 @8:30 to determine why Quest was billing me on blood work done for a yearly.

They charged for the hemoglobin (A1c) and everything else was covered.

code is coming as preventing but not coming up as a lab work code.  Jennifer stated that claim will be reprocessed and she will be back in touch with me.

This caused me to look up and see what is cover during a Well Women Annual Exam from www.bcbsks.com/sok:
