XP=SA for DH any teachers with Empire? INS question

Hi....
I am the process of testing to see why I am not getting preggers. My doc referred DH for a SA and to go to a neurologist. The guy took our insurance we paid a copay and now I am getting a letter stating it is not covered and we have to pay 127 for the SA
and it says we owe that docs office 438!

I know there are teachers in my building that were in my situation and i did not hear of it being covered.

I did not get a bull from the doc yet just those statements that say not a bill but I did get a bill for the SA from Sunrise medical.

Anyone have this happen to them?

Thanks ladies!

I would be surpised if it was not covered. We were still under magna when DH did SA. However, we have Empire now and he has $50,000 lifetime coverage for himself for infertility treatments. That is why find it hard to believe that Empire that does not cover SA. I would call your doctor's billing office and have them help. My RE's office handles the insurance billing issues for me fortunately. Good luck!

DH's SA was done through our RE and covered (back in '07).

You have to call and speak to someone about getting "approved" for IF treatments. All it is is a phone call and they give you an authorization code and and mark it in the system and then they covered everything.
