I have United Health Care and they paid Dr. Glueck - I didn't have to have a referral or anything. Of course I'm not trying to get pregnant so that may make a difference, but technically you'd be treating the syndrome whether you were trying to get preganant or not right?! When I saw Dr. Glueck they didn't do a trans-vaginal scan so I think you're pretty safe there.

When is your appointment? I am going for my second appointment with him on June 11. I'm hoping my blood work looks better since I've been taking the Met. Good luck to you when you go.
