[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in Virginia. While I would hope we don't get something like this I can't help but wonder what happens to me if we find out at 20 weeks of a gross abnormality?

I already know my insurance, military, will not cover abortions for medical reasons. So that's 20K.

That said, not having the option to terminate? Awful. I'm already down about TTC. I've had multiple pregnancy losses so I might be at risk for this situation. This just sucks.[/quote]

Wait, even before this, military insurance doesn't cover TFMR?  At any stage, or just if you find out late at 20 weeks?  I didn't realize this. Is this common? (My insurance would absolutely cover.)[/quote]
Yes, because of the Hyde Amendment. There’s a famous poster here from way back known as LIVID who was a fed and had to terminate due to anencephaly; federal insurance does not cover it. I can’t find her heartbreaking original thread but she’s here and on lots of other old threads about this.

Went through this 14 years ago, got a lecture from the military Fetal Medicine doc about how "no federal funds can be used" after he handed me a folder with info for abortion. We went to NJ because my ILs live in Philly so we didn't have to spend the night in a hotel. It was I think $2500 because we were so far along, 22w. There was two week delay in getting a referral in the military system for Fetal Medicine. Our diagnosis was OI Type 2. [/quote]

I'm a little surprised it was that cheap. My D&C was a 3 hour OR procedure at INOVA. $2500 for anesthesia, etc? Did they partial pay for the bill?[/quote]
