If your gyno won't prescribe BC without a pap smear, look to get a new doctor. Insurance isn't mandating it; it's just the doc deciding they know better than you.

Current medical advice does NOT stipulate the two should be related - https://www.acog.org/womens-health/experts-and-stories/ask-a...

If you can't find a doc who won't decouple the two, try Planned Parenthood.

I may end up going through planned parenthood if that improves things. I really, really hate speculums up my cooch and have no predispositions to any issues in that area and there's absolutely no reason for me to be required to have a yearly exam to get my BC.
