    • Description:
      Placing long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) immediately postpartum allows patients to receive an effective, convenient form of contraception while still in the hospital. A retrospective cohort study found that only 4 percent of enrollees who received Medicaid-covered immediate postpartum LARC had the device removed within six months, and only 12 percent total had it removed within 12 months.

      As more states recognize the value of immediate postpartum LARC, Medicaid programs are increasingly unbundling the cost of the device and insertion from other postpartum services to increase reimbursement rates, incentivizing providers to offer immediate postpartum LARC. As of November 2017, 39 states have issued guidance on Medicaid reimbursement for immediate postpartum LARC.
