Employer/COBRA Insurance Insurance doesn’t cover contraceptives because they said they’re a Christian-based organization
i use birth control to stop my periods and when i called my insurance to check for coverage this morning they said they don’t cover contraceptives for religious reasons
the estimate from my provider is around $2000 without insurance so just double-checking about alternative routes i can take given that information
insurance is from virginia mason hospital & they switched to bcbsil from first choice this year if that’s relevant
