Insurance doesn’t cover contraceptives because they said they’re a Christian-based organization

[u/sweetbabycoconut]

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

If you don’t have a Planned Parenthood around you, your local health department can provide them. Usually you just need an exam, or with you being on them already, they might not need to.
