has anyone faced the issue where health insurance says you have to be off of birth control for one year to get covered for fertility treatment? What I am wondering is how they judge this. I went off BC the day they gave me health insurance(6 months ago) but if I go to a doc at one year how will my insurance know? Should I go to a doc now and declare my intention to go without BC so that in a year they will back me up? I know I most likely won't be able to conceive without help.

I have not heard of that. I just had to get a referral from my primary care physician, which they gave me on the recommendation of my OB. I haven't had a problem at all.

I've not heard of that either... As long as they wouldn't audit anything, I can't see how they would know. It's not like you had that script filled under this new company, right? Strange!

That is very strange, ive never heard of that. And dont see how they can say that because how would they ever know. I find it hard to believe they get written documentation from every Dr showing someone has been off of birth control for a year to get coverage.

Most fertilty Dr's wont se you unless youve been trying to conceive for a year, are you sure thats not what they said?
