Does Medicare cover IUD insertion?
We don’t have a standard national Medicare rate for IUD insertion, so we can’t confirm coverage here — it may depend on medical necessity, the setting, or your specific plan. Check Medicare.gov or ask your provider.
About these prices
Based on prices published by 1573 US hospitals across 52 states, the typical (median) cash price is $319, versus a chargemaster (list) price around $502, a median insurer-negotiated rate of $284. Most cash prices fall between $110 and $1,675 — a wide spread, which is exactly why comparing hospitals pays off.
How to save
- Ask each hospital for its cash / self-pay price — for shoppable services it is often far below the list price.
- Compare several nearby hospitals; prices for the same service can differ severalfold.
- Request a written estimate and the billing code (CPT/DRG) before scheduling.
- Use the Medicare benchmark above to judge whether a quote is reasonable.
- If you are uninsured, ask about financial assistance or prompt-pay discounts.
