For lab work you need an order from a doctor. Go to the appropriate doc first.
I have a Plan F sup. I go to an ER they take me, no bill.
My wife had 3 ER visits and 2 admissions, 3 cardiac procedures and a pacemaker. No bills.
My plan has 50,000 in out of country coverage.
We were lucky when we ran away from TVH 10 years ago because we passed the screening to change to BCBS TM sup Plan F.
Now they would have rejected us for medical reasons.
If you have a MA plan you might not be able to switch if you are ill.
