I am insured with Blue Cross Blue Shield (who keep a call log). My insurance confirmed no calls were made to verify insurance coverage. The same manager that assured me that they had called and confirmed specific insurance coverage later told me that they didnt have to call to see that my insurance covered a basic exam.
