If you use Mercy Clinic doctors, you may have received something in the mail in the last month from Polymedco, Inc. called a fecal occult blood collection kit, encouraging you to take a sample for colorectal cancer testing.
This sample kit was not sent by your doctor’s office and will not be covered under our insurance unless your primary care physician ordered the test. Also, Wellmark cannot confirm that Polymedco is an in-network provider. You are encouraged to talk to your doctor. Under our plan, your primary care physician may order a colonoscopy for you, and one routine test per calendar year will be covered in full with an in-network physician/outpatient facility.
If you have any further questions, contact Wellmark at (800) 355-2031 or Kathy Martin, Benefits Specialist, at kmartin@aea11.k12.ia.us or ext. 14385.
