How Does Medicare Cover Birth Control?

Medicare covers people under 65 with a long-term disability, not only people 65 and older. KFF counted 1.1 million women of reproductive age on Medicare in 2022.

Medicare drug plans (Part D) cover many birth control pills, patches and rings, but which ones and what you pay vary by plan. Plans don't have to make them free. Part B covers some methods only when a doctor prescribes them to treat a medical condition.

  • Part D plans cover many pills, patches and rings
  • Each plan's drug list sets what's covered and what you pay
  • A licensed doctor can prescribe your method online by video

Is Online Birth Control Right for You?

Doctronic can help adults on Medicare start or renew hormonal birth control, including combined and progestin-only pills, the patch and the ring. A licensed doctor reviews your health history by video to recommend a method that's appropriate and safe for you.

Because methods with estrogen carry certain risks, your doctor reviews your blood pressure, migraine history, smoking and blood clot risk before prescribing. Your doctor may recommend a progestin-only option when that's safer.

Frequently asked questions

Often, through Part D. Medicare drug plans cover many birth control pills, patches and rings, but each plan's drug list sets which ones and what you pay. Part B covers some methods only when they treat a medical condition, not for preventing pregnancy alone.

It depends on your plan's drug list, called a formulary. Look up the brand or generic name in your plan's drug list, or in the Medicare Plan Finder on Medicare.gov. It shows whether it's covered and on which tier.

Part D plans don't have to make birth control free, so you may pay a deductible, copay or coinsurance. A video visit with a licensed doctor on Doctronic is $39.

Yes. If you have Medicare because of a disability, the same Part D rules apply, and a licensed doctor can prescribe birth control online.

Medicaid usually covers more birth control methods, and it may help with your Medicare costs. Your state Medicaid office can tell you what's covered.

Coverage for IUDs and implants is limited, and you may pay for the visit to place or remove one. Ask your plan what it covers before you schedule a placement in person.
