Out-of-Pocket Costs for Long-Acting Reversible Contraception Among Individuals Enrolled in Employer Sponsored Insurance Plans

Researchers at KFF have conducted an analysis to understand out-of-pocket costs for certain contraceptive services. The study focuses on costs associated with intrauterine device and contraceptive implant insertions among individuals with private insurance. The analysis was published in the journal Contraception and involved KFF researchers Linda Li, Brittni Frederiksen, and Alina Salganicoff. They aimed to determine why patients are experiencing unexpected expenses for services that should be fully covered under the Affordable Care Act. Further details on the analysis and its findings are available from the KFF Women's Health Policy.
