If you can't use a generic, and your insurance won't cover the name brand (or they won't cover Birth Control at all), check with your local Planned Parenthood. They may be able to help you with low cost or free birth control. I worked with a woman who could only use the Nuvaring and she would have payed $50 on campus, whereas PP gave it to her for $13 a month.
I sometimes wonder about insurance companies, isn't it cheaper and less of a hassle to authorize a birth control of choice for a patient instead of having to pay for prenatal care, a birth, post natal care, well baby checkups and then having the child on the insurance for 18+ years?
