Type: article

Abstract: 48% MS in Texas with only 39.8% of plans having ED coverage and 56% of all plans having IPP exclusions.In contrast, 95.3% of men with plans through BCBS of North Carolina (73% MS in NC) have ED coverage with only 2.3% of all plans having an IPP exclusion.CONCLUSIONS: While it is difficult to determine the true coverage rate for ED treatment (and specifically for IPPs) for all men in the US, an appreciable number of men do not have insurance coverage for ED therapy and have exclusions for IPPs.As a result of the high variability in coverage differences, many survivors of PC in the US may be doomed to impotence based upon the lack of federally protected men 0 s rights and are at the mercy of the insurers which dominate their marketplace.
