YAZ birthcontrol issues???

I just got a scary call from my GYN saying that they got a letter from my insurance company that I have vascular problems and that I should not be on YAZ. However I have never been diagnosed with vascular problems by anyone. So now I am freaking out because I have been on YAZ for over a year. My GYN told me to contact my Diabetes doctor to confirm this information and if this is in fact true I should stop YAZ immediately... Does anyone else know anything about issues with YAZ? I have read the "who should not take this" section on the YAZ website.
