Is STD treatment covered by insurance?!
Question:
Is STD treatment covered by insurance?
Ex. Genital Wart removal or aldara cream?
Answers:
My insurance covered Aldara. I paid a $10 copay. Without insurance though, I've heard the medication is over $100. I also get acyclovir for herpes and I only pay a $10 copay. My OBGYN visits would be outrageous if I didn't have insurance. Since I have high risk HPV ( I developed cervical cancer), I have to see them at least every 4 - 6 months.
Most insurances will cover STD treatment and testing. You insurance should have sent you a pamphlet with the medication they cover. You could always call them too (or have the doctors office call) and ask them if they will cover it. My doctor called my insurance to see if Gardasil (the HPV vaccine) was covered for me. All you have to do it ask! Good luck!
