Huh…didn’t see anything about this in the NYTimes. *shocked*
This is awesome! I’m so glad to see that this movement of authentically Catholic health care is out there — providers who won’t compromise on Catholic teaching and actually support you in it. Now all we have to do is get insurance to follow suit.
Right. The NY Times. Hilarious. That’d be nice. Sometimes the Times surprises me. You’d have to send the press release to the right editor for sure.
NFP earned its own insurance code a couple years ago, and the FertilityCare peops have grown adept at billing, so quite often much of FertilityCare and NaProTechnology can be covered under insurance, especially if it’s part of an existing hospital system.
