BCBS Fed basic requirement question

Hi all. I am wondering about the drug test requirement under the Federal BCBS plan. Did you just have your pcp order it?

    I have federal BCBS standard, and I ordered all my tests thru my PCP, although I did not have to take a drug test. (so far)

    I haven't had to take one either. I haven't heard anything about having to take one.

    Interesting, have either of you got the approval for surgery yet? The drug test is mentioned in the BCBS booklet and the insurance specialist mentioned it as well. I just don't want anything to hold up my approval so I can start this new phase of my life!

    OK I figured it out, a drug test isn't required, just a doctors statement that you are clean.
