A health care professional must provide evidence of medical necessity for the cost of a professional birthing coach who provides medical care for the mother or child to be an eligible medical expense. Include evidence of medical necessity by providing a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) that specifically identifies the recommendation and expense is for treatment of a medical condition with the request for reimbursement.
A health care professional must prescribe Over-the-Counter (OTC) drugs and medicines for you to be reimbursed for the expense. With a prescription, the cost of an OTC birth control product or treatment such as the Morning-After Pill or OTC emergency contraceptive which can help prevent a pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure or spermicides would be considered an eligible medical expense.
The cost of prescription birth control (such as IUD, diaphragm, pill, Norplant, etc.) is an eligible medical expense. Also amounts paid for OTC products and devices (such as condoms, etc.) are eligible medical expenses.
Covered for children 5 years of age or older.
