[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use Kaiser.  All diagnostics and treatments have been at 50% (except for things like TSH monitoring which goes through my regular endocrinologist).  I did not have a problem getting referred from Kaiser (to shady grove).  I had been trying naturally for over a year and had actually done some testing at Shady Grove out of pocket before changing my insurance to Kaiser in order to get coverage for infertility.  Kaiser will require that you do diagnostic tests that they can do through them.  For example I needed to do my HSG at Kaiser.  Overall I have been pretty happy with the process.  I also have been getting the 50% coverage for all IVF and IUI meds.  I have found it somewhat cheaper to get these drugs through Grubbs specialty pharmacy in Dupont (with my kaiser coverage) than through the Kaiser pharmacy itself.  [/quote]

Who did you use for your PCP for the referral to SG?  We will likely switch to Kaiser from BCBS this coming year, and I'd like to line up a PCP.  Also, aside from the HSG, does Kaiser require any additional testing?  Trying to figure out what testing I can get done this coming year for nearly free through BCBS.  Thanks.[/quote]

Problem is I heard Kaiser makes you redo all of your testing.  Can anyone confirm?  I'm terrified of having an HSG done at kaiser!
