Med Insurance?

Emz i'm with unimed aswell, They covered the specialist appointments for me and also the ultrasounds i had and also for the pescriptions of clomid (they have only been $15.00 each time i have had them) but i think it depends on what cover you have and i think it only covers a certain amount per year for certain things! I was under the private specialist for 3 months (2 rounds of clomid) that was with a ultrasound for each round of clomid and they reimbursed the whole lot, not sure how much more they would have paid for tho! sorry i'm probably not much help! Can you ring them to find out? I hope they pay it for you! Can your GP refer you for public funding?

Im with southern cross does anyone know if they cover infertility? My Dr put down susptected PCOS and irregular periods on my scan form rather than infertility so that I could claim the first scan...but what about fertility treatment/ seeing a specialist etc?

Hi Emile,

I talked to my gyno about it and he said that because I've had him for my conditions before that he'll put it all under that, so I get covered which is great for me. Bummer for you though

Kye, I don't think many places cover 'infertility' but most specialists will just write it under 'consultation' etc without stating infertility, from my little knowledge on the subject and after talking to my gyno about it. There's probably a clause in there (there is in mine) that says about the conditions your med ins doesn't cover.

Bollocks. I wonder if that would be the same for us? I might look into that. I didn't even think of it as I just assumed it came under fertility treatment, which my insurers don't cover. Who are you with (insurance coy) Star?

I think it's the same with most - consultations are covered, but not treatment. That's what I found with mine anyway.
