I get no screening colonoscopy within 75 miles (I live in Asheville, a major metropolis) and I get no reimbursed mammogram ANYWHERE. My healthy 3 members family pays $750+ / month for this coverage. And stop talking about how Medicare would remove this because MEDICARE WILL PAY FOR SCREENING COLONOSCOPIES AND MAMMOGRAMS. So, enuf of the lying and baloney. (I feel my blood pressure going up so I better quit now). thank you. marsha hammond, phd licensed psychologist BCBSNC Madame Defarge blogspot:http://madamedefarge2scutinizingbcbsnc.blogspot.com/ Stop pretending that BCBSNC PPO offers any preventive care reimbursement.
