TitleWeb Billing guidelines for coverage of intrauterine devices (IUDs)
Professional
December 6, 2018
Page Content Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are a form of long-term contraception used to
prevent pregnancy. Certain IUDs have non-contraceptive uses, for example in the
treatment of medical conditions that result in heavy menstrual bleeding.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that IUDs used for contraceptive
purposes be covered as a preventive service by healthcare plans. The devices
are eligible for coverage under plans that offer contraceptive coverage/family
planning benefits with no cost-share.
Independence coverage policies are consistent with the requirements of the
ACA. The appropriate procedure and diagnosis codes must be reported to
distinguish when IUDs are used for contraceptive purposes rather than
non-contraceptive treatment of medical conditions.
Providers should use the Eligibility and Benefits Inquiry transaction on the
NaviNet® web portal to confirm individual member benefits.
Please refer to the table below for details on coverage positions and billing
guidelines for IUDs that may be used for contraceptive and non-contraceptive
indications.
