Does the High Option cover contraceptives and birth control? 

Your prescription plan covers contraceptives at no cost to you. 

Under the Affordable Care Act, your plan covers contraceptive medications and medical devices approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. There are many contraceptive options available to you that can help prevent pregnancy, including:¹ 

• Medication taken by mouth (“the pill”) 
• Diaphragm 
• Emergency contraceptives 
• Shot/injection 
• Over-the-counter methods 
• Skin patch 
• Implantable rod 
• Vaginal ring 
• Intrauterine systems (“IUD”)

Consult with your health care provider to ensure you are using the contraception method most appropriate for you, your body and your future.
