Biologically male procedures only. EDIT: If the two people who downvoted this question could explain their reasoning, I would be super interested. No judgements. This is a safe space!
Idk? Boob job? Dental work? Extra set of arms? I wouldn’t know
It’s the US, so dental isn’t included
Wait, what? You guys are paying all that for insurance and it doesn’t always include dental? Like the main reason I wanted to be on health insurance here in Canada was for dental and prescriptions. I’ve been on some of the crappiest insurance plans here and they all include dental.
Teeth are luxury bones.
Health, vision, and dental are all separate in the US.
Dental and vision are never included in US health insurance and operate on a totally different confusing insurance framework. They’re only available through separate plans and have their own deductables and terms. But unlike health insurance the premiums are generally orders of magnitude lower for both vision and dental.
The problem I’ve had is that the maximum benefit is typically in the range of $2k-$3k/yr for dental which is quickly hit if you have any oral surgery needs. Unlike with healthcare I don’t feel ripped off when paying for dental/vision since the few hundred dollars per year covers preventative care visits too.
It never counts dental😢. Dental industry is fighting like hell to stay separate. Our dentists want bigger cuts which is why they only cover 50%
Oh then get a quadruple bypass since you’re in America
Op asked for help, not to be murdered.
Of then they should probably get the fuck out of America. This place will kill you fast
I have hope, as long as we have Captain Lezbian to protect us
She lost to trump, dude.
Get your ears cleaned at an ent. Go to a dermatologist and get a facial. Go to a pediatrist and get a mani/pedi.
Really sucks that dental doesn’t count as medical.
Get my ears cleaned by an ent?
I’m so soryy. I couldn’t resist.
I’llseemyselftothedoor~
Why does it look like the Ent is feeding him 😂
Not a medical procedure, but take the time to reevaluate your medical plan before open enrollment! Look at the cheaper plans and see how much you’d save in premiums. It might be greater than the difference in max out of pocket. And if you get a qualified “high deductible” plan you can even contribute the savings to an HSA that you get to rollover and keep forever into retirement, without ever paying taxes on it.
To your “edit” point: Don’t take a handful of downvotes personally; it’s pretty easy to do accidentally on mobile so they may have been unintentional
Some people also use downvotes as way to say they dislike something. Unlikely, but some people might be down voting to indicate they don’t like the insurance industry.
I downvote anyone that whines about or asks why they’re getting downvotes. Otherwise I don’t up/downvote anything at all (except that guy that is posting triangles for upvotes)
Seriously, who cares?
To add to that downvotes have no serious negative effect on this platform
In reddit as soon as a few people downloaded you, you disappeared
Here people can brigade you and unless you’re reading top, who cares, your stuff still gets seen.
Oh I know. I am genuinely curious what anyone found so objectionable. They are welcome to their opinion, I’m just very eager to know what it is.
They skimmed your post, read the words “biologically”, “male” and “only” in that order, and it triggered their this-sounds-transphobic reflex.
Don’t worry about it.I mean I won’t say it didn’t, but I didn’t downvote for it because I still have more than one braincell

Get all your injuries out of the way. Do a bunch of dumb shit to build character
I’d double- and triple-check the small print.
They’ll find a way to still charge you.Snip snip
I don’t think you need health insurance to play Gwen
Not Gwen specifically, but I’d recommend seeking mental health resources to anyone who has been exposed to League of Legends.
snibbedy snip, put in more than the tip
My health insurance denied covering my vasectomy so i put it off. Later that year i was in an accident and hit my max out of pocket pretty quick. I called up my doctor and had them resubmit the preauthorization. got it covered at 100%
I’m still pretty pissed that sterilization for women is covered at 100% under my plan but not for men.
It goes the opposite way for wanting to reproduce, too. That is, myself and my wife decided we would try to start a family, and she’s apparently fine, but something isn’t working on my side of things. (Her doc even said “Don’t worry about it, men tend to be an easy fix.”)
There’s a million programs and special coverages and stuff for women’s fertility, but all I asked is “Hey can we just diagnose what’s wrong with me? I don’t want super-swimmer-syrum or something I just wanna know.”
They refuse to consider it urology or any kind of “men’s health”, and keep wanting to rule as “fertility treatment” which conveniently isn’t covered.
Men’s reproductive rights aren’t even on the radar.
Get an MRI for, idk, back pain.
Dentistry. This shit is always hard to get for free so you should do everything you can.
Not covered by my health insurance, or even most health insurances in the US. We have special horrible dental insurance for that.
Ew, i’m not even surprised, this seems to be trend in all capitalist countries, in Poland dentistry also went to shit after 1989 and even worse after 1999 healthcare reform.
The dental insurance plans available in the US are basically a scam for adults because they have an annual maximum of $1-2k. You have to get a lot of cleanings before you even break even with the premium, and if something major happens you’re basically not even covered.
IMO you may as well just have that $1-2k saved up yourself and pay for your own dental appointments.
Chewing bones and seeing orbs are not covered in US health insurance
Seriously not even eyes?
They have their own, extra shitty, Vision Insurance. It’s really only good for covering your eye exam every year. Now if you need ocular surgery or something, that’s when your health insurance would come into play.
Only a basic exam, no special screening.
I think seeing orbs are still mostly covered for medical issues
Get on Ozempic or Mounjaro
Oh they do NOT cover that unless you are diabetic. No way. (I looked into it.)
Wegovy might be covered if you’re just fat. You might also find a doctor willing to prescribe it on the basis of pre-diabetes, although it’ll be a long argument with your insurer.
But if you respond well to the drug it’s worth it. Trust me
Sucks
What you mean is, your HMO has had to dust off the “not medically necessary” stamp.
Any minor physical pains? Could see a physical therapist. If you use a computer a lot, your posture might be bad and it helps a lot!
