Yes, like all other FDA-cleared methods of contraception, Natural Cycles should be covered by your commercial health plan in accordance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Please feel free to share these resources with your health plan to educate them on why they should be covering Natural Cycles:
- The ACA ensures access to coverage, without cost-sharing, for birth control and contraceptive counseling for individuals enrolled in group health plans and group and individual health insurance coverage (ACA Contraceptive Coverage Requirement).
- Commercial health plans and issuers are required to cover, at no cost, at least one form of contraception within each of the contraceptive categories identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (ACA Contraceptive Coverage Requirement).
- The US FDA Birth Control Guide lists “Software application for contraception” as a contraceptive product category, which includes Natural Cycles as the world’s first FDA-cleared birth control app (FDA Birth Control Guide).
