If you are younger than 21 years old, the costs of contraception are covered by insurance, including the insertion and/or removal procedures. Contraception for women over 21 years old is not covered by insurance in the basic package (“basisverzekering”). If you have supplemental insurance then costs of contraception may be covered. Please note, the costs may have to be paid from your own risk and you will still receive an invoice from your health insurance for this. Contact your insurance provider for more information on what you may need to pay out-of-pocket. If you are not insured you must pay for contraception yourself.
Purchase of both the spirals and the Implanon goes through us, we place the order for the spiral or Implanon that you have chosen via Anticonceptionportaal.nl. You will only receive a payment request via iDeal by email, which you must pay within 3 days, so that we receive the spiral on time at our practice. The insertion and removal procedure of an IUD and/or Implanon is covered by insurance in the basic package. If you are not insured, you will need to pay the cost of the procedure yourself. You can pay for the costs of insertion and removal of contraception during your appointment (pin card payment only). The follow-up ultrasound of the IUD must also be paid yourself (pin card only). You can submit the invoice to your insurance provider. Depending on your insurance the invoice may be reimbursed.
Someone asked us: Q. Do you guys do copper IUDs? Could
you give me an estimate of the cost without insurance? Yes! Many Planned Parenthood health centers offer the ParaGard IUD. You can search to find the one nearest you that offers ParaGard using our health center locator. IUDs come in two flavors: hormonal and non-hormonal. The non-hormonal IUD contains copper and it lasts for up to 12 years (in the United States, the brand name is Paragard). Hormonal IUDs release a hormone called progestin. There are three brands of hormonal IUDs in the US:
Mirena (lasts for 6 years), and Skyla and Liletta (last for 3 years). The IUD is the most inexpensive long-term and reversible form of birth control you can get. Unlike other forms of birth control, the IUD only costs money in the beginning. The cost for the medical
exam, the IUD, the insertion of the IUD and follow-up visits to your health care provider can range from $500 to $900. That cost pays for protection that can last more than a decade. Planned Parenthood works to make health care accessible and affordable. Some health centers are able to charge according to income. Most accept health insurance. If you qualify, Medicaid or other state programs may significantly lower the cost of getting an IUD. Contact your local health center to get more information. -Nathan at PPFA Should you use birth control pills, condoms or an intrauterine device (IUD)? Women choose their birth control based on many factors, like effectiveness or comfort—but cost has been less of a consideration, ever since the Affordable Care Act. A provision in the act required employers to provide contraception to all women in their health plans without charging a copay or coinsurance fee. Estimates suggest that more than 55 million women had access to birth control without co-pays because of the mandate. Going forward, the price of birth control may matter more. On Oct. 6, President Donald Trump rolled back that coverage and issued a new rule that offers exemptions for any employer, regardless of industry, who objects to offering contraception coverage due to his or her personal religious beliefs or moral convictions. Experts don’t yet know what effect the new rule will ultimately have on women’s ability to access birth control. But some worry that the IUD—one of the most effective and low-maintenance types of birth control—could become prohibitively expensive. Without insurance, it’s one of the priciest methods up front, costing about $900. And though an IUD may be a better financial investment over time, since women can use the device for several years, such a high initial price tag is beyond the means of many women. Health care analytics company Amino analyzed billions of health insurance claims from 2014 to mid-2017 to understand how much an IUD could cost women if their insurance no longer covered it. They analyzed the Mirena and the Skyla IUD, which use the hormone progestin, and the ParaGard IUD, a non-hormonal copper-releasing device. On average, an IUD could cost about $1,000 out of pocket across the country, the group reported. Below is an interactive map using data from Amino of what the typical cost of an IUD could be in each state. (The price estimates are for the total cost of an IUD, including the insertion procedure.) As the data show, the lowest estimated cost is about $800. “[An IUD] is not cheap, and the median price is well outside affordability for many women,” says Sohan Murthy, a data scientist at Amino. Compared to the condom, which has a typical use failure rate of 18%, or the birth control pill, which has a failure rate of 9%, the IUD has a failure rate of 0.8% or less. IUDs also require little to no maintenance for years, and hormone-free versions are available. Once IUDs became more affordable under the ACA, public health groups across the nation launched public awareness campaigns to encourage more women to consider using long-acting reversible contraception like the IUD. The method is growing more popular. About 6% of women in the U.S. had tried the method in 2002, but that grew to 15% in 2011-2015. Studies have also shown that when women have access to all forms of birth control without financial barriers, they are more likely to choose the kind that’s most effective. A long-term study based out of St. Louis called the The Contraceptive CHOICE Project enrolled nearly 10,000 women and found that when the women were counseled about all methods of birth control, 75% chose a long-active reversible method, like the IUD. Even before the new rule was announced, many women sought IUD consultations with providers, potentially in anticipation of changes to insurance coverage of birth control. A January report found that the number of women who visited their physician to discuss the birth control method rose nearly 19% after Donald Trump was elected as President. Methodology Data is from Amino. Cost per state is determined by taking the median cost of the three types of IUDs in each state. Contact us at . How much does it cost to insert a copper IUD?A copper IUD can cost anything from $0 to $1,300, depending on what insurance or government programs cover. According to the Office on Women's Health , birth control under health insurance tends to be free because of the Affordable Care Act.
How long does a copper IUD last?The copper IUD (ParaGard) contains no hormones and prevents pregnancy for up to 10 years. ParaGard is an intrauterine device (IUD) that can provide long-term birth control (contraception). It's sometimes referred to as a nonhormonal IUD option.
Does the copper IUD cause weight gain?Nope! The copper IUD (Paragard) doesn't cause weight gain. Because the copper IUD is hormone-free, it doesn't have many side effects at all. Some people do have heavier, longer periods and more cramping, especially for the first few months.
Is the copper IUD worth it?The copper IUD is really good at preventing pregnancy, and it's totally hormone free. So it's a good option for people who prefer non-hormonal birth control, or can't use methods with hormones because of medical reasons.
