This map, released with a study from the University of Michigan Health System, shows how an increasing number of state Medicaid programs over the last three years are providing reimbursement for immediate postpartum LARC provision.
According to the map, 19 state Medicaid programs now reimburse for an IUD or contraceptive implant placed immediately after a woman gives birth, while eight other states are considering adding such reimbursements to their Medicaid programs. In contrast, no states provided such coverage in 2012 (University of Michigan Health System release, 10/6).
