Reply to comment by Evening_Attention_45 in No Mental Health Coverage with Marketplace by Evening_Attention_45

I can tell you from experience, when I had BCBS Omnia Bronze through the marketplace they did cover blood tests without anything out of my pocket. They also paid toward doctors visits, including specialists, and I also did not pay for ultrasounds. My deductible was high, so I didn’t meet it, but I never paid for basic testing.

Okay hopefully that is the case with me. I’m 43 so maybe that’s why. Idk

I went through the whole thyroid cancer diagnosis + treatment + follow up experience with good old marketplace insurance, and it sucked, but it could have been way worse and they did pay for a lot of stuff. They never let me hit my deductible, which is bullshit (I was forever $7 short, somehow) and that’s a different gripe altogether, but they did pay a lot without hitting the deductible.
