I HATE that health insurance is legally required here (and in the US, too.). I hate all kinds of insurance, though. They are always a waste for me.
dj, I personally think you should get that tube unblocked ASAP regardless of DH. As I explained in another thread, it could be really impairing your fertility. I hope the appointment goes well!

But if she has to pay it out of pocket, and DH is shooting blanks, it seems ~to me~ to be a better use of the $$ (which seems like it is limited, yes?) to get DH checked first. But, I can be wrong, happens all the time!

Well I don't know exactly what my health ins will cover. I am pretty sure diagnostic procedures are covered and there is no way we could pay for the lap procedure out of pocket. I so want DH to have an analysis done, it can't hurt right? We will see what happens.
Thanks for all the advice ladies!! XXOO

You can always call your insurance and ask what all is covered for infertility. I did that and was surprised what all was covered. As long as your doctor uses the appropriate codes, you can ask your insurance agent for those too, you can then tell your doctor which ones to use.
I been around the block or two with insurance!

Honestly I hate insurance companies at times! The lady called me this morning and told me my fee for a consult $530! to me that is crazy but I feel like I need to go so we will have to figure it out. Diagnostic procedures are covered which is good. But of course after our deductible is paid, which is $5000! Looking forward to tomorrow.
