Tubal Ligation Questions?

I am planning to talk to my OB today about getting a Tubal Ligation done after my c-section.
I have my reasons. I know it can be reversed someday if I really wanted but I am certain I won't.
I've researched and am pretty sure my primary insurance Blue Cross PPO will cover some of the cost, but not sure about my secondary insurance Medi-Cal paying the rest like they do for most things.
What questions should I ask my OB besides
cost and rbout recovery?
If you have had one, what was it like? Has it been effective thus far?
ETA: If my insurance will not pay, I am willing to pay out of pocket. Have even found a place in LA that will do it.
If I have to do that, how much can I expect to pay, and will they be cutting me open to do it? I thought while my OB was already cutting me open for my c-section it would be a good time to have it done.

I have blue cross PPO too, I didnt even think to see if they would cover a tubal. Damn it!
But Ive talked to my doc with my last pregnancy, he said if you want a tubal they will do it during the c-section. No need for two surgeries. My doc told me he would cut my tubes off, not tie them. Im sure how all docs do it though. After I have this one Im getting it done FOR SURE!

I would call your insurance and ask they price questions.


I was absolutely sure I was done when I had my second. I had one each and was very happy. 2 years later, that bug hit and it hit hard. It took me 2 years to convince my husband and I'm so thankful neither of us got around to getting fixed.

We're expecting baby Oliver in May.

My OB has agreed to do it for free during the c-section. Yay!

Thank you ladies.
