health care denying choice birthcontrol! illegal?

Question

I just got off the phone with Humana and explained to them how the paraguard is my only comfortable choice! I've done hormonal BC three different ways and each time was a depressive suicidal mess! I'm a happy butterfly, I suffer from mild depression but nothing major at all!!!! but somehow almost drove my car into the Mississippi River one night after those pills!

I'm not putting my life at risk again! I pulled over off the bridge, called my (soon to be hubby) in tears!!!!

Humana told me its pills or sterilization.
Like suicide or never have children which for me is just as bad! I NEED to be a mom! Just not yet!!!!!

I feel like Obama Care had something against that whole conversation I just had, where you can't deny choice birth control!

Am I right?! Can anyone please help me?!

Answer

That sounds like Humana is doing something wrong, not the Affordable Care Act. The ACA requires them to either fully cover the cost of BC or have a co-pay. Humana is denying you BC when they're required to cover IUDs along with other forms of BC. Your insurance is the problem.

Answer

As far as I'm aware most health insurance has specific things it will cover and others it won't. If you want the paraguard I think you two will just have to pay for it.

Answer

Usually if you have the doctor call them and tell them you medically need it they will approve it.

Answer

I have Humana Caresource they should have been able to cover that. Is that the same Humana you have?
