I wonder why the ped is saying insurance won't cover acne dx? My kids have medicaid and it's covered and I would think that other regular insurance would too.

Hmmn, the insurance is via medicaid. The pediatrician tends to know her stuff on this type of thing, but maybe by chance she is wrong and it's only specific medications that are not covered for acne. Hard to know and I need to think about what I would say if I call the company that manages our Medicaid here but need to be careful what I ask.
Just to clarify as far as the birth control, the ped did assess which medication to prescribe and decided birth control wasn't right, not only because DD is not sexually active but also because she doesn't have cramps or any other issues with her periods. On the other hand, it might be worth me asking the ped to prescribe birth control since the other medication has not been covered. I think the issue is she might consider it insurance fraud if she is really prescribing for acne and the company doesn't cover it. So, I just need to think about what to do.
