Insurance company personnel - Funny stuff!
I called my insurance company (Blue Shield CA) to find out what my benefit is for a mastectomy bra and after about 35 minutes, she finally came back on the line to inform me they don't have any benefit for "vasectomy bras"! I then had to actually spell out "mastectomy" as she had no idea what it is. Took over an hour to find out I do have a benefit (4/year) but still no answer as to any restrictions on where I should purchase them.
It was a funny start to my day ..... and the representative was a woman!!! I think we still have a ways to go on awareness??!!
