  I guess the way I was reading it, some people are waiting to see whether their insurance will cover Mirena FOR THEM or not.  I guess I could kind of understand it if the plan didn't cover Mirena for ANYONE.  Maybe I read it wrong??

  well i think its something about your employer as well if part of your insurance is paid by your employer, thats why it would vary person to person/ plan to plan...

  Some insurance carriers only cover BC in it's generic form.  However, there are a lot of BCs that don't have a generic yet.   Nuva Ring, Mirena, etc.   A company cannot put out a generic of a medicine until the patent expires and that usually takes anywhere from 5-25 years (from what I've heard...I'm nowhere near an expert on this.  I do life insurance, not health/medical)   However, with the recent changes to the healthcare laws, some insurance companies have already started to cover non-generic BC because in a year or so all carriers are required to cover all forms of BC.  (Again, from what I understand...I might be mistaken on some of the details)
