Health Insurance and BC

Birth control, that is. Not British Columbia. Or Boston College.

For those who haven't heard, starting on Monday (though for your insurance provider it may be later (has to kick in by 2013)) insurance providers must start paying for women's preventative care including all FDA approved forms of birth control, etc. Interestingly, they must also pay for breast pumps (and voluntary sterilization... but breast pumps sounds less scary to me).

Here's a full list of stuff that must be COMPLETELY covered by your insurance provider.

"Well woman visits" is sort of vague, but I think that means paps and such. I wonder if the HPV vac will also be covered? It should be. If you're aware of any clarifications or specific details let me know.
