From my experience BCBS will not pay for an exam that it a clearance, other than surgical, for a special circumstance ie: sports, adoption, DOT We make our patients pay for sports physicals (sports clearance) unless they have not had their wellness exam for the year, then we will do a complete wellness exam and fill out their form. We use 99429 for sports physicals only and have never had an insurance carrier reimburse for it.
