They’re not about covering preventative procedures.
I have a history of kidney cancer in my family. My dad died from it and my grandmother had it. (His mother)
At 35 I went to get my first screening. Doc wanted to do a CT scan. Insurance wouldn’t cover it. Settled for an ultrasound. I get why insurance doesn’t want to cover it, but with a clear family history it does feel like a little bit of bullshite.

I ran into the same issue with mammograms until I turned 40. My Mom died of breast cancer (was terminal when found). My Grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer a year after my Mom passed. I was 38 and the insurance refused to cover my mammogram. I ended up going out of pocket to cover it for my own sanity.
