25 More Minutes Wasted

The health insurance company called back to say that my request for a birthing center was denied. I asked her to explain how it was legal considering this is a Florida Statute:

627.6406 Maternity care.--
(1) Any policy of health insurance that provides coverage for maternity care must also cover the services of certified nurse-midwives and midwives licensed pursuant to chapter 467, and the services of birth centers licensed under ss. 383.30-383.335.

He explanation was that it is not in my policy. We talked in circles for 25 minutes when I asked what she would do if she were me. She suggested an appeal. Appeals take months!!! Grrr!!! Back to the drawing board.
