The RE’s insurance coordinator called me today to keep me up to date. Basically she said she’s been trying to nail down specifics over exactly what is covered under what (like is my clomid counted as an ovulation induction? Or is it a part of the IUI coverage?) and she’s waiting to hear back from them. She’ll let me know.

She also said that this past cycle she did not get prior authorization for the IUI because she had been TOLD by someone at my insurance that I didn’t NEED it. (During that snaffoo.) Billing hasn’t gone through/been approved for that cycle either, because they always take a few weeks to do it. So she told the insurance company that I should NOT be punished because THEY screwed up and she’s trying to get this sorted out. I’m glad she’s on my side and being my advocate, but I’m still worried that billing will find some way to stick it to us.

So I’m glad I’m doing a break this month to get this all sorted out. Unfortunately she did mention something that makes me think they’re expecting us to do IUI this cycle out of our own pocket… which we have no intention of doing. I wonder if they’ll be upset if we don’t do it. Oh well. I’m still doing the clomid.
