How much does Kyleena cost?
95% of women were covered for a Bayer IUD, like Kyleena, with little or no out-of-pocket costs (based on past benefit investigation submissions to Bayer in 2017). If you do not have health insurance, or if Kyleena is not covered by your insurance, the cost of Kyleena is $1,049.24. This comes to $17.49 per month over a 5-year period.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) generally requires health plans to cover FDA-approved contraceptives, including intrauterine devices (IUDs) at low or no cost to the patient (eg, co-payment, coinsurance). Depending on the specific health insurance plan, patients may still be responsible for the cost of the product and/or product-related costs, such as insertion or removal procedure fees.
