My health ins. denied benefits for a hysteroscopy preformed during a laporoscopy looking for endometriosis which I was found to have severly. They denied it based on the fact that I had not tried treatment with oral contraceptives for 3 months before the procedure. I refuse to take birth control due to the world health organization deeming it highly carcinogenic and for religious reasons. (Im Catholic) They cant force me to follow an immoral and potentially dangerous course of treatment in order for them to approve a claim can they? They approved the surgery but not that part of it. Leaving me to owe 1200.00

I do empathize with you...and wish to come back with more information on this.

This is discriminatory, what they did. Surely they cannot deny one his or her benefits due to that person's beliefs, right? I, too, would like to know the courses of action needed in cases like this.

looks like you'll have to bite the bullet or file a grievance.

I think you should just go to a lawyer. He can take this moral issue into something legal, which, in my opinion is easier to assert and fight for from that front.
