What do you do for healthcare if your network is out of state? It helps that I can meet virtually with my physicians but sometimes they might want to see blood work or get a urine sample.
Are there any clinics that do lab work without having to see a doctor? I'd have to pay out of pocket but it wouldn't be too bad if I didn't have to see someone. Has anyone done this and if so where? |

Blood work can be ordered virtually, you just tell them where you need to go. Results are sent just like any local doctor

The other option is a PPO plan which doesn’t limit in network drs, though drs might not take that pop plan, many should

I assume you are a snowbird, and the network is limited to another state? If so, why would you choose a health plan that doesn't have nationwide coverage?

My insurance would cover a trip to the emergency room and for non-emergencies I could make a virtual appointment with my many of the physicians in my network. It is the tests they might want to run that wouldn't be covered and a challenge to obtain. Last edited by kschwi; 10-24-2024 at 02:51 PM. |

I am 62. I was able to purchase my health care through my former employer.

IMHO, you are asking the wrong people, call your health care provider, and ask if QUEST can be used, I believe they provide both blood and urine tests. My urologist does in house urine tests, but all of my other doctors tend to use QUEST and they have sevweral offices in the area. Your doctor should be able to send the request directly to Quest.

I’m guessing you aren’t on Medicare because if you were, there is no ppo option unless you had advantage and you would be more restrictive.
PPO means in network and if you use their in-network drs, they pay more. If you go out of network, your insurance pays less but it still pays. I always had PPO plans and I was covered anywhere in the states. Do you think your insurance plans think you aren’t going to do any traveling? Read your policy and it will tell you what your insurance pays in-network and out of network |
