Business ProfileforAltrua HealthShare

I had health coverage with Altrua healthcare from August of 2022 - January of this year. In November (7 months ago) I requested a colon cancer screen through them and was sent a Cologuard screen in the mail. Specimen was sent and I was sent a bill for $681. Altrua refused to pay for this cancer screening exam stating that I needed to pay the deductible/cost sharing first. I have sent an appeal for decision and cancelled my membership with them. I have yet to hear from them. My Member ID: ******************************* #********* Plan#********* I received information from the billing department of the cancer screening facility (Exact Science), that under federal law, of the Affordable Healthcare Act, specifically Section 2713 of the ********************* Act, it requires that health plans must now cover the Cologuard test without cost sharing for average risk patients. I assure you that I meet those requirements. I am over 45. I was due for screening and my healthcare provider had indicated that I am of average risk for colorectal cancer. Section ******************************** conjunction with the US ************ Services Task Force (USPSTF) a sDNA-Fit test (Cologuard) are to be covered. Additionally, under federal law, if a plan does not have an in-network provider who can provide the service described in the USPSTF regulation, the plan must cover the service and may not Impose cost sharing.
