In addition to the existing treatments that help relieve symptoms or remove fibroids surgically, there are new treatments on the horizon. It’s hard to know if your new health plan will cover them when they’re available. Most health plans wait for a lot of evidence that new treatments are better than the old ones, and they’ll often require you to jump through hoops for new, costly treatments. But you can try to get a sense of how responsive the health plan is to new developments by looking at whether they cover other relatively new treatments or by asking to review their policy for approving new medications. You may also find clues in the health plan ratings, which measure how happy consumers are with a plan.
