Sometimes Covered Services:

• Certain diagnostic tests: Depending on your plan, some tests like ultrasounds or blood tests ordered by the gynecologist for diagnosis might be covered.

Here are some ways to find out what's covered by your plan:

• Contact your insurance company directly. They can provide the most accurate information about your specific plan.
• Look at your insurance provider's website. Many companies have online portals where you can access plan details and coverage information.
• Review your insurance explanation of benefits (EOB). This document you receive after a medical service explains what was billed and how much was covered.

It's important to be proactive with your gynecological care. Schedule regular checkups and preventive screenings to stay on top of your health. By understanding your insurance coverage, you can make informed decisions about your care and avoid unexpected costs.
