However, if you\u2019re uninsured or don\u2019t have prescription coverage, the prices may not be so affordable. The cost of birth control pills alone can be upward of $50 a month for some people depending on the brand and their insurance plan. For those who use a vaginal ring, costs can be as much as $2,000 annually.

Products range from patches to pills, to IUDs. Most insurances will cover the majority of costs associated with birth control. The effectiveness of birth control varies depending on the type of contraceptive used. The cost between these methods also varies but also is dependent on if you have insurance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you are paying cash, the pill is the cheapest,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventhealth.com\/find-doctor\/doctor\/sara-krueger-do-1235119595\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sara Krueger<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, DO, a gynecology provider at AdventHealth in Ottawa, Kansas. \u201cAt many of the large pharmacies, it can be less than $10 per month.

A method that\u2019s perfect for one person may not be right for another. The best birth control method for you depends on many factors in addition to cost\u2014such as accessibility and ease of use, potential side effects, privacy, your reproductive plans and menstrual cycle, your risk for getting a sexually transmitted infection, and how important it is for you not to get pregnant.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The table below displays the range of prices you can expect for different birth control options, this includes those who have insurance and those who do not.

Because of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) insurance companies now provide some birth control options without a copay. It was estimated that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthoodaction.org\/issues\/health-care-equity\/affordable-care-act-aca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1.4 billion was saved<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on birth control pills in the first year of the ACA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking for ways to save when you get birth control, there are several options. Sterilization procedures like tubal ligation and vasectomy can be a one-time cost to prevent pregnancy depending on where you are in your family planning. There are also over-the-counter birth control options to consider that may be cheaper such as spermicides and female condoms. Talk to your healthcare provider about switching to a generic brand or about getting a long-term contraception option. Sometimes you can also get discounts on prescriptions if you fill larger quantities at once.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most insurance companies give great discounts on birth control, as well as Medicaid and Medicare. \u201cIf you have a health department in your county you can often obtain birth control for free or on an income based fee schedule if you are uninsured as they have government funding,\u201d suggests Dr. Krueger.
