insur. coverage ultrasound ?

[nicole2884]

so we are just ttc, but i emailed our insurance about coverage

and they said they only cover one ultra sound unless medically necessary.

which i know you have to have more then that to check development, to me that would be medically needed to make sure everything is ok

my question is that what they mean by medically needed

Maybe they are an odd company and will only cover it unless the doc thinks something wrong with the baby or it could mean only for  health problems like if something were wrong with your heart and they had a to an ultra sound and this doesnt count towards being pregnant. Kind of hard to say so i would give them a call and ask.

When I was pregnant with DD, I only had 1 ultrasound becsuse that is all my insurance would cover. It was done at 20 weeks.

A lot of places only do one ultrasound around 20 weeks.  Medically needed may be because you don't know your LMP (to check dates), your measuring too big or too small, or your not gaining weight.  I had a lot in the beginning due to spotting and then they found a cyst (completely normal) but they wanted to make sure it shrunk and didn't get any bigger.  Then I had one at 20 weeks and then they did another around 30 some weeks because I was measuring big,  My sister only ever had one ultrasound with her first two pregnancies.

I had so many I can make a scrape book out of her ultrasounds showing development! My cervix is only 1.5 cm long so I kept going into labor at 27 weeks with my now 3 year old. I was on bedrest for three months straight and went to the Dr for two non stress tests and two ultrasounds a week until she was born...

 My sons almost 9 next month. I only got one ultrasound with him... I think maybe you should send another email and ask them to be more specific!
