iud - cost & where to go
| Wed, 09-08-2004 - 2:31pm |
hi all! i posted once before and am continuing my pursuit of an iud. i called a gyno in my hmo network to inquire about the iud and was informed that it would cost $450!!!! yikes! i know that my insurance won't cover any portion of the cost, so i have been thinking about calling planned parenthood instead. i guess i am wondering what everyone's opinion of the organization is, and whether or not you think it would be a good idea. i think i feel a little weird going to a clinic since i do have medical insurance, but maybe it would be worth it if i could save a considerable amount off of the $450. on the pp site it says the iud costs anywhere from $175 to $400. any help would be appreciated!

My experiences with Planned Parenthood have been positive but like anything else the clinics are only as good as the people staffing them. PP does have a means tested scale of prices, so perhaps you can qualify for discounted services. Let us know what you decide, ok?
Good luck,
Jill

Good Luck!
i know that the iud will be cost effective in the long run, but my copay for trinessa is $9. no matter since i can't stand the hormones anymore. my libido is in the toilet!
both of you paid $450 for the iud... was it paraguard or mirena?
