Elective induction and insurance question....

audie2goose

Hi All,

due to an impending death of my stepfather in the next two weeks coinciding with my due date I am considering an elective induction for our third child... I'm already 3cm dilated, baby is measuring on target, and is otherwise healthy. They would induce after 39 weeks in hopes of me being able to see/be there for the final days of my stepfathers life. My dr has offered me this option. My question is: is this usually covered by insurance? It would be "elective" so I'm not sure, and I'm having a really hard time getting a clear answer from anyone. We have bcbs.  

 

sorry for the x-post
