[quote=Anonymous]Great thread, I've learned a lot, thanks gals (and guys)!

I'm on Aetna, and have generally been pleased with their coverage, but the service can be a bit of a PITA. My (federal) coverage doesn't cover (as was pointed out previously) injectables for timed intercourse/IUI-- OK, fine, but not having memorized the plan, I spent an ENTIRE day (i.e., I actually had to put in for leave) trying to deal with SG, Aetna, specialty pharmacies, etc! The request had just been sitting with Aetna for a week before my nurse fast tracked it two days before trigger- everybody thought that everything would just move forward, but after calling (6 times, no kidding) to make sure I would get it on time I finally was told that it was denied....no indication that they would ever communicate that to me. SG was able to get a local pharmacy to fill the trigger meds, but DEFINITELY get your nurse to follow  up-- they told me it would be 2-3 days to fill, which is just absurd with these timed situations.
