Other contraceptive methods:

  • Barrier methods (e.g., cervical cap, diaphragm, vaginal ring) and devices such as IUDs will be covered at 100% (insertion of IUDs will be covered under the medical plan).
  • Select FDA-approved female over-the-counter contraceptives are covered at 100% when accompanied by a prescription.
