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

25 in wa with a $25 wage

Welcome to Theocracy. Next time you'll be denied because you aren't Christian.

Have you heard the news? They’re allowing doctors to deny to treat you based or “religious or moral reasons” . So they can indeed decide not to treat an unmarried pregnant woman who isn’t Christian- it’s already happened since they changed the law.
