Apparently I'm "Infertile"
*Sigh* I was afraid this might happen. I got an e-mail alert today from my insurance company saying they had processed a claim. I went to check it out online and lo and behold, the charges for my last ultrasound were not covered. So of course I called them up and said "what's the deal?" They said the ultrasound was done for infertility reasons, and anything of that nature is excluded from my plan. *blink* Great! Um, HELLO?!? Who comes up with this stuff? I mean, I get it, multiple miscarriages is a form of infertility in the medical world, but I...AM...NOT...INFERTILE! I have been pregnant THREE times in a year. How much more fertile do I have to be? ARGH!

That blows. Are you going to call your Dr.'s office to see if there's anything they can do about it? You know office peon selected a billing code from a drop down menu. Maybe they can re-bill it under a different code or something. As you pointed out, it's obviously not an infertility issue. :/
Yeah I think I will. I haven't gotten the actual bill from my Dr. yet but when I do I will call them up and say "um, hello?" What irritates me the most is that I kept getting told after my first two that insurance won't cover a lot of testing until you've had at least three miscarriages. So it's all very ironic.
