“I’ve been happily married for 20 years, have 2 children, and my tubes are tied. Recently I was diagnosed with complex hyperplasia. My doctor recommended that I have an IUD installed which releases progesterone, in order to reduce the risk of cancer and avoid a hysterectomy. Yesterday, I had the device installed, and my health care practitioner explained that it cost her over $700 to obtain. My health insurance company will cover this procedure but only 80% of the total bill. I don’t need birth control. I need the medication the IUD releases.”
