Doctor: The procedure is a screening so it's 100% covered by your insurance... Me: Good. Doctor: ...unless we find something, then it changes int...

I received a $3,700 medical bill for the screening that was fully covered. I called my insurance and they told me the screening is covered for people 45yo and older, but I'm only 43...
