Is the Pill covered by health insurance in NY?

I've just moved to the US, I have Oxford Health Insurance provided by my work and need to buy the pill - does anyone know how much I should expect to pay and if I need a referral to start buying it here? Thanks for answering!

Yes, it is covered, as long as you have a prescription you go to any participating pharmacy. Expect to pay at the very least top-tier of your prescription copay, if not more. (Newer ones like Lybrel are generally not covered or if they are, it's still expensive.) Oxford will strongly encourage you do to mail-away prescriptions - I personally hate those pharmacies, but that's your choice. You'd get three months' worth for two copays.
