About IUDs
An IUD (or IUC) is an intrauterine contraceptive, a small, T-shaped device that's put into your uterus to prevent pregnancy. We offer Mirena and Paragard brands.
IUDs are highly effective. Fewer than 1 out of 100 women a year become pregnant using an IUD. And, you can have it removed at any time at a health center.
Cost
Most of our patients pay little or nothing for IUDs.
- IUDs are usually covered in full by insurance.
- If you're covered by Medi-cal or Family Pact, there is no cost to you for an IUD.
- If you are paying out-of-pocket, the cost varies. It will be a few hundred dollars, depending on the device.
Free or reduced-cost services may be available, depending on where you live and your income level.
