In the few years that the Act affordable care by was signed into law, women who use birth control have recorded an average of $ 255 per year on costs outside pocket. Indeed, now under the ACA, most health insurers must cover some form of contraception. 
However, until recently, many women were still paying the high costs out of pocket for their birth control, even with Obamacare health insurance. health insurers have found ways to avoid paying all or part of the costs because of the vague language in the Law of the birth control health.
Fortunately, the government has recently published a new document clarifying the specific language surrounding this issue, in particular, defining birth control forms must be covered
insurers must now cover at least one type of contraception in each of these 18 categories :.
- sterilization surgery for women
- surgical sterilization implant for women
- implantable rod
- copper IUD
- IUD with progestin
- Shot or injection
- oral contraceptives, combined pill
- oral contraceptives, progestin-only
- oral contraceptives for prolonged use or continue
- Patch
- vaginal contraceptive ring
- Diaphragm
- Sponge
- cervical cap
- The female condom
- spermicide
- emergency contraception, including Plan B, Plan B One Step and Next Choice
- emergency contraception, including Ella
Without insurance, an IUD can cost up to $ 00 and many birth control pills can cost up to $ 50 per month. birth control coverage clarification on will save many women even more money when Obamacare went first in force.
are you still paying too much for birth control, or have you ever said that your health plan does not cover contraception? Remind your doctor or pharmacy of the health law, and if necessary, get a second opinion or seek new treatments.
