Talk Up Symptoms to Get Yourself Tested Easier
Health insurance companies won’t want to cover potentially expensive medical exams like a colonoscopy if they don’t believe it necessary. However, if it’s something you think that you need to have, there is a way to get your insurer to take care of the costs, and that’s to talk up the symptoms you’re having to your physician and why it is that you’re convinced a test is essential. Don’t be afraid to look up online and research the pain or physical feelings you’re experiencing so you can give the doctor a more detailed description of the symptoms. The more comprehensive your explanation is, the greater your chances of getting the desired test.
However, keep in mind that only twenty-one states require insurance providers to pay for specific exams during general screening. Thus, it’s best to look up the state rules involving insurance concerns for your location.
