Why does insurance cover circ in the US? - Page 3

[the_lissa]

I actually think it is a huge reason because we are so used to not paying for things that when we do have to pay for something, we really think about it.

I know many, many people who were on the fence or decided on circumcision, but didn't because ohip didn't cover it. Some because they didn't want to spend the money and some who figured that it wasn't necessary if it wasn't covered.

I have premera in WA and it is covered, 100%. So it depends on the employer I think. But they did fully cover my homebirth.

United Healthcare (the gray card, not the blue) in GA covers it 100%. They do not fully cover prenatal care, labor, delivery, or anything else. They do cover vaxes 100%

I live in CA and have Health Net through my husband's employer. I just got our new coverage booklet for the year and saw that Circ is 100% covered as an out patient procedure. I'm guessing that my DH's employer chooses to have it covered.

our insurance didn't cover circ. We weren't going to circ anyway (and, did not) it would have cost us around $300 to circ our son.
