Late last year, Delta claimed in 2020 our insurance would cover annual skin exams. Sooo, I just left the dermatologist and was billed $110. They said it's considered diagnostic and not preventive.....
Our insurance only covers preventive.

When I called to make an appointment...I clearly stated a preventative skin exam. The office said that all dermatologists will code these preventive exams as diagnostic which is NOT covered 100%.
This was in Newnan, GA and they said they do a lot of pilots, so I'd imagine many others will experience the same issue.
