Something isn’t right. I believe a colonoscopy is fully covered under Medicare…in other words…the deductible doesn’t apply. Because if it did…I would have gotten dinged for the rest of my deductible on the roocedure billing…and I didn’t.

I just think it’s very odd that the procedure is fully covered…but the anesthetic isn’t…supposedly because it was not pre approved. That’s what my EOB says. Then it says it is part of my deductible.

I have an excellent supplemental plan. They aren’t paying the $68 either.
