Fidelis does not cover tubal ligation as it is considered to be a permanent form of contraception. There are a number of other contraceptive options available which Fidelis would cover, such as the use of condoms, birth control pills, or intrauterine devices. If you are considering tubal ligation, you should discuss this with your doctor to determine if it is the right option for you, and to find out if your insurance provider will cover the procedure.
