Does my insurance cover the Paragard® IUD?

If you have health insurance:

Paragard® is fully covered under most insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act. This typically means no co-pay, deductible or out-of-pocket costs for the device itself.

Here’s how to check:

1. Call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card
2. Tell them that Paragard is a healthcare provider-administered method of birth control
3. Ask them to check if Paragard is covered under the Affordable Care Act
4. Provide them with the J code for Paragard, which is J7300
5. Ask if you will have any out-of-pocket costs, or if Paragard is only partially covered under your plan

If your medical insurance says that Paragard is not covered as a medical benefit, then it may be covered as a pharmacy benefit. To check if it’s covered as a pharmacy benefit, call the customer service number on the back of your prescription card.

If your health insurance doesn’t cover Paragard or you don’t have health insurance
If you don’t have insurance, or if your insurance doesn’t cover Paragard, you may self-pay for your Paragard prescription by contacting our specialty pharmacy partner below.
