Tenncare And Birth Control Posted: 08-13-07 23:45pm
Okay, my problem is, my girlfriend and I
are sexually active. We use condoms and
she is on Estrostep 28's. The pharmacy
said that TennCare wasnt going to pay for
her birth control. Neither me or her have
the money to pay the full price each
month. My question is, does anyone know
which birth controls TennCare is willing
to cover? Or should this be a question
she should make with her OB/GYN? It
wouldn't be a problem not having them at
all, but we both like that little piece of
mind. Thanks in advance!

She would need to call Tenncare and ask
them. They would know exactly what they
cover.

Tenncare would cover certain types of BC
pills, you basically need to call them and
ask.
ALSO, call the obgyn. IF she knows your
financial situation, she may be more than
willing to gives you guys some free
samples!
Many docs are willing to give free
samples.

Also you could request that the doc switch
you to something cheaper. I am on loestrin
but the pharmacy replaces it with the much
cheaper generic version, Junel. Without
any insurance, it is about $10 per month.
