[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BCBS will cover monitoring and some diagnostic related costs and so that might be helpful.  But places like Shady Grove won't even bill to BCBS for IVF since it isn't a covered service.  Nor will they for IUI if I recall correctly but may be wrong.  GW used to bill BCBS for all monitoring related costs associated with IUI and all you had to pay was the actual $400 IUI fee.  I don't know if that is still the case or not.[/quote]

sortof. On BCBS Standard for IUI they will bill you upfront for 5 in-cycle monitoring visits, plus the $400 for IUI+spermwash, so about $557 at the start of the cycle. BCBS Standard in 2016 (haven't seen the new brochure) covers all monitoring (less co pays) and meds for a timed intercourse cycle, and all diagnostic testing (less co pays) for infertility. A monitoring visit (sono+bloodwork) usually costs me around $35.

from what I have heard SG just refuses to do itemized billing, which means that they won't submit to BC for covered monitoring, and it makes it difficult to use your FSA as well.[/quote]
