Does this mean that insurance companies will approve therapies like Intrarosa first without having to use the vaginal estrogen cream beforehand? My doc prescribed Intrarosa but warned me that the insurance company might only approve me for the cream, which was messy, gross and not helpful - basically making me jump through an extra hoop for no good reason than to save them money. This was about a year ago.
While the guidelines say that physicians can offer laser and radiofrequency ablation, they don't give either procedure a ringing endorsement. They site a lack of evidence. I would expect it to continue to be difficult to get these procedures covered by insurance.
