Sources say that while doctors can no longer prescribe birth control, they were given the go-ahead to prescribe contraceptives for reasons other than birth control — a solution that at least one local woman rejects. “I have spoken to my doctor about my birth control options,” the woman, who requested anonymity, told the E-E. “I was told that my physician has been instructed that they can no longer write prescriptions for birth control as birth control. This effects me because I take birth control as birth control. There are other ways to receive birth control, for example headaches, cramps, excessive bleeding — but I have none of those symptoms. “I was given the impression that birth control for those reasons would be overlooked, but I have no desire to stretch the truth or fabricate a reason. This is between me and my physician. This is about MY health care. Why should we have to commit borderline insurance fraud because I want to maintain my health care?”
