Guest guest Posted March 26, 2000 Report Share Posted March 26, 2000 Kerrie, I have Blue Choice which is part of Blue Cross Blue Shield. They were just taken over by Anthem. I called there last week to talk about the fact that I am going to an infertility specialist. They told me they would only cover a diagnosis and they would not cover anything after that.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2000 Report Share Posted March 27, 2000 Pam: I used to have Health Options, which is an HMO affiliated with Blue Cross Blue Shield in Florida. They would only pay for diagnosis also, and fought me over that. Most of the testing I had done was after I switched to my husband's insurance last May. You should have seen the hassle they gave me over my follow up care after my ectopic! It was a disgrace. My first appointment after surgery I sat in the waiting room of my doctor's office crying for an hour while the office staff (they were so great) argued on my behalf with the insurance co so I could see the doctor. It was awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2000 Report Share Posted March 27, 2000 Kerrie: I am not Pam, but I know when I was looking into the same thing my insurance would cover NOTHING when it came to any TREATMENT of infertility. That included procedures, meds, the whole package. If we had pursued IVF, the entire cost would have come out of our pocket (which would have been impossible for us to afford). Insurance policies really stink sometimes, don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
