I found out yesterday that the changes in our infertility coverage for 2009 are already going to make a huge difference. Up untill now I was on very inexpensive fertility meds (clomid). They were covered even before this change. Well now that I am starting injectables this month I wanted to find out how exactly we would be charged for them. The old plan would cover them if they were adminstered by a Doctor. Well since I will be the one giving myself the shot it wouldnt have been covered till now. I called Bluecross and come to find out all I need is a prior authorization from my doctor explaining why he is putting me on this and they will cover the meds like any other prescription that I need which is $15 for generic or $30 for all others. This is huge because they normally run anywhere from $500-1000 unless you find them on discount medicine sites. I also found out that no one carries the medicine in stock but Target can get them next day! So providing everything goes great today at my apt I will be starting them next week!!!
I have often wondered if this really was the path that the Lord wanted us to take and wondered if I was just making these decisions on my own but this is really confirmation to me that He has total control of this plan and that He knew the exact moment that my insurance would change. Had I been put on this medication last year most likely we would not have gone through with it because it is just so expensive for 7 days worth of medication. I know that some people out there may not approve of us or anyone seeking medical intervention to get pregnant but I feel a total peace about it now and know that He is leading us in this direction and that it is OK for us to be going through the fertility treatments. He uses medicine intervention for His glory and healing sometimes. Ultimately He is the one in charage and will decide when and how this will all work out! I can’t wait to see the end result!
