The IUD itself should be covered at no cost under the ACA. That doesn't apply to office visits. Even if you haven't reached your deductible on your plan yet this year, the device should still be covered at 100% (there are some rare circumstances when it wouldn't be, but if i remember correctly you are a teacher, not someone who works for a religious organization). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-iud#post-2864484 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 15:26:16 +0000 SweetCaroline 2864484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was fully covered both times. I'm not sure if I had a copay for insertion but I did for removal.</p> <p>ETA: co pay for the office visit that is </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-iud#post-2864482 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 15:25:22 +0000 Sams Mom 2864482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not exactly the same, but my nexplanon was placed at no cost at my 6 week pp appointment. If I would have done it at any other appointment outside of pp or my annual it would have been my $20 copay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-iud#post-2864469 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 14:37:31 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2864469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was like $200 with insurance. I have the paraguard and love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-iud#post-2864467 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 14:32:02 +0000 peachykeen 2864467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was free all around. Unless you have an unusual plan I believe it should be fully covered under contraception. Maybe whatever your plan charges for an office visit, if anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-iud#post-2864452 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 13:56:46 +0000 Alba4 2864452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was fully covered by my insurance. I had it inserted at a yearly check up, so I had no Co pay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-iud#post-2864450 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 13:47:13 +0000 jape14 2864450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got an IUD after each of my kids were born and I just paid an office visit copay ($20) each time; it was fully covered otherwise. I have an HMO plan with no deductible so ymmv. My member services booklet from my health insurance plan lists it so you may want to search yours for intrauterine device and see if you can find it there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-iud#post-2864449 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 13:38:44 +0000 Jennibenni 2864449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I paid an office visit plus $45 but that was five years ago </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-iud#post-2864448 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 13:36:37 +0000 catgirl 2864448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was fully covered, just had to pay office visits. But that was on our old ppo plan. we recently moved to a high deductible plan - not sure what it would cost now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-iud#post-2864446 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 13:34:48 +0000 Pollywog 2864446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine would have been $1200 without insurance, but ended up being a $7 coinsurance for the appointment to put it in </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-iud#post-2864442 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 13:19:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2864442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My IUD was fully covered (I refuse to say free since I pay for my insurance and my insurance paid for it). I can’t remember exactly but I think I just paid a regular office visit copay for each visit (insertion, checking that it was right a few weeks later)? Definitely not MORE than my copay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cost-of-iud#post-2864440 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 13:13:32 +0000 DesertDreams88 2864440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My healthcare website says that getting an IUD costs $1,052 on average in my area. But I know that at least some of the process should be free due to it being a contraceptive? So.... how much did your IUD process cost you and what were the parts you had to pay for vs what was covered?</p> <p>I imagine I have to pay for the appts but not the IUD itself, is that it?</p> <p>FWIW: I have a high deductible healthcare plan and I should have taken care of this last year since I was at my OOP max but I just got my period back in December and was too busy to figure it out then. </p>
