Can I request bloodwork during my established care visit?
I’m seeing a new doctor who requires me to have an established care visit before scheduling my annual physical check-up. I’m wondering if I can ask for preventative bloodwork during this visit, and whether insurance will cover it.
Yes, you can certainly ask for preventative bloodwork during your established care visit. However, coverage will depend on your specific insurance plan. Many insurance plans do cover preventative bloodwork as part of routine exams, but it’s a good idea to check with your insurance provider to confirm what is included and whether any additional costs might apply. When you visit your doctor, make sure to express your interest in preventative bloodwork so they can assess your needs and help you understand the options available to you.
