Kaiser
Anyone have Kaiser (federal plan if it makes a difference) and know how easy it is to get a referral out to a specialist? We are currently under BCBS federal and are seeing a RE at Shady Grove Fertility, just wondering if we will have to jump through any hoops to continue with our RE. Also do you need new authorization for every treatment cycle?

Re: Kaiser
I have Kaiser Federal and went to Shady Grove. We just needed to wait the prescribed amount of time (one year of TTC under 35 - six months over 35) and then Kaiser did some tests and gave us a referral to Shady Grove. But since you are already a Shady Grove patient, I would think you would just need an OB to authorize you.
I am almost certain we had approval for 6 treatment cycles and then we would have had to seek re-authorization - but we didn't get to that point.
I do know an OB it is easier to get a referral out of - pm me if you want the info.
Best of luck to you!
