It is my understanding that Routine Physicals are classified as one of the preventive services that Obamacare requires to be covered 100%.
However, is that the case if they are performed by a doc not in the patient's insurance network?
Background: My wife just switched jobs and became eligible today for her new insurance. Somehow, we must have had a brain f*rt when we were looking up our doctors on the new plan, because tonight our family doc (who we've gone to for 25 years) does not show up as being on it.
There's always the chance that he was dropped since our first search, but for the sake of the questions, let's assume that I did the search wrong!
