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

The provider group I tried to get birth control from didn’t believe in non hormonal birth control (the copper IUD), so I had to find a provider that did. The provider group was super catholic and believed that the non hormonal birth control was like having an abortion every month. Try checking with other providers, in case that’s the situation! Good luck!
