My health insurance company lied to me about my benefits?

In the summary of benefits my people services manager gave to me when I was deciding on my health care plan, it says that Aetna covers up to 80% on "Contraceptive drugs and devices not obtainable at a pharmacy". Yet when I try to go and get an IUD (Intra-Uterine Device) they say they don't cover it. What's the deal? Now why am a paying these people $80 a month from my paycheck? Anyone here had this happen to you?

you shouls talk to your benefits person at your work and then consult your benefits book that your insurance company gave you, they have for info then most of the customer service ppl do.

If you have no health insurance and you need an operation?

can a hospital deny you care? Can they put a lien on your home if you can't pay the hospital bill?
--------------------
In US jurisdictions hospitals are not allowed to deny basic emergency care to sexual assault victims, pregnant women in labor, and those for whom denial of care would likely result in death or serious injury. (Hospitals without emergency departments --- such as most psychiatric facilities -- are exempt,of course.) As to extent of the emergency care, it is generally held to mean at least "stabilize and transfer". Beyond that, they most certainly CAN deny treatment, and can do whatever is necessary and lawful to secure payment for services. So -- the answer to both of your questions is YES.

I wonder what would happen if I just decline to buy health insurance if the bill passes?

So fine me. So what. I won't pay the fine. Charge me with contempt and lock me up. Then we can go to the supreme court and challenge the mandate.

Why does president Bush want to veto a bill to make sure all children have health insurance?

and why is he paying blackwater international while they are not running missions in iraq?
--------------------
I may be wrong, and not trying to provoke any bad statements. However I beleive the increase of funds was not intended to put children of well to do families say $82,000 and up on government insurance but is to cover more eligible children, and families that currently they are not able to take care of. Those families that are working good paying jobs, most already have good employer, and employee paid insurance already. So to me this idea that they will join government paid insurance does not add up. Our usa has paid at least close to $600 billion dollars and more to come !!!! on the Iraq invasion. With little or no talk what soever of what is being cut in our deserving u.s. citizens tax paid benefits to divert these huge funds to a needless occupation. Well folks, the bills are coming due !!! The money being alloted almost $200 billion every three months for bombs and bullets does not grow on trees. I think the idea of taxing cigarettes was a poor choice of finding funds... Who on earth would tax a system of death and addiction as cigarettes to promote funds for life giving insurance? While the bill does have some good and bad sides. It was a poor choice to choose cigarrettes. Surely they could find some other way to find funds. Hmmmm $35 billion for needed child insurance for the future of our country, or $ 200 billion for bombs and continued war and death. ?????? Which will it be ????

Will the government-funded health insurance company drive private insurers out of business?

Just like the US postal service drove UPS and FedEx out of business?

Is ptosis (sagging eyelid) often covered by health insurance?

My friend has a sagging eyelid and was wondering if the plastic surgery to correct the eyelid can be covered by most health insurance plans?
--------------------
It depends on the insurance. If the procedure is submitted with the words "interfers with visian and the ability to see" there is a good chance it may be.
