Unlike the Pill, ParaGard® is often covered by the medical fee schedule because it is purchased directly by patients or healthcare professionals. The J code most commonly used for ParaGard®
is J7300, although this may vary among some healthcare plans. Each provider is responsible for selecting the appropriate code to submit for services and products provided.

To assist you with the reimbursement process, we've created the ParaGard® Reimbursement Checklist. You and your staff can use this checklist as a guide when speaking to your patient's insurance company to remind you to ask important questions about reimbursement. After completing the checklist, you may find it helpful to file it in your patient's chart for future reference.

For those patients who do not have insurance, or choose not to use their insurance, the ParaGard® Patient Payment Plan is another option. Patients paying for ParaGard® themselves can make a one-time payment in full, or make 12 monthly installments. This convenient payment plan and 150-day money-back guarantee* are tailored to fit patients' budgets and lives.

ParaGard® does not protect against HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted infections. ParaGard® must not be used by women who are or may be pregnant; have acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or current behavior suggesting a high risk for PID; have had a postpregnancy or postabortion uterine infection in the past 3 months; have cancer of the uterus or cervix; have an infection in the cervix; have an allergy to any component; or have Wilson's disease. The most common side effects of ParaGard® are heavier and longer periods and spotting between periods; for most women, these typically subside after 2 to 3 months. If a woman misses her period, she must be promptly evaluated for pregnancy. Some possible serious complications that have been associated with intrauterine contraceptives, including ParaGard®, are PID, perforation of the uterus, and expulsion.
