Can I request bloodwork during my established care visit? I’m seeing a new doctor who wants me to have an established care visit prior to my annual physical. I’m wondering if I can ask for preventive bloodwork during that visit, and whether my insurance would cover it.

Yes, you can definitely ask for preventative bloodwork during your established care visit. However, whether or not your insurance will cover it can depend on a few factors, such as your specific insurance plan and the reason for the bloodwork. It’s a good idea to discuss your concerns with your doctor during the visit, and they can explain which tests are recommended and whether they are considered preventative. To avoid unexpected costs, it might also be helpful to check with your insurance provider ahead of time about coverage for the bloodwork you are requesting.
