Call your insurance customer service number (on your card) and ask them exactly what their requirements are. They will tell you what they require and what they will pay for.

I can only speak for myself, but I have similar insurance and had to do an Upper GI. I don't think it was 'required', but I had acid reflux and hiatial (sp?) hernia so the surgeon wanted one done to be on the safe side. Hope this helps.
