They won't make you pay for the biophysical/ultrasound, but the stress tests yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-and-insurance#post-1369599 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:36:51 +0000 spaniellove 1369599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry you're going through this. Our insurance has been great about covering maternity care and tests, but every visit to the MFM is considered a specialist visit and they were clear about that upfront. Like you, we have a $40 copay each time no matter how often I go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-and-insurance#post-1369516 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:18:34 +0000 ShootingStar 1369516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have Harvard Pilgrim and I had GD. I had to pay a co-pay for my lancet and strips ($15). I didn't have to see MFM, but I did see an endocrinologist, and again I had co-pays for the visits. $20 I think? I haven't gotten billed for the non-stress tests, I assume they're covered 100% just like all my other pre-natal care was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-and-insurance#post-1369337 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 08:28:34 +0000 Clementine 1369337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>I'm very puzzled by something I was told by my insurance company and extra tests and appts. I'll have to do because of my GD. I'll be charged a specialist copay for every stress test and visit I have to the fetal maternal medicine doc, which means i'll be paying close to $600 out of pocket in copays.</p> <p>During my first pregnancy in NYC, everything was covered. My testing supplies (strips and lancets) as well as all the additional testing and screenings I need to get done.</p> <p>Here in MA with Harvard Pilgrim, I have a copay for my testing supplies and on top of that now specialist copays for these tests I need to get done. Does this sound right? Please sound off. </p>
