  • Title: State also pays for Depo-Provera.
    Author: Hanson MS.
    Journal: Minn Med; 1991 Jun; 74(6):7-8. PubMed ID: 1830920.
    Abstract:
    A mail survey of 50 U.S. states revealed that of 32 who responded, 15 will pay for Depo-Provera under the Medicaid program, for contraception. Another 2 pay for contraceptive visits, which may include any type of contraceptive. As of May 1991, no state now requires prior approval in writing to use Depo-Provera as a contraceptive. Contraception is an unlabeled indication for Depo-Provera, but it is legally acceptable to use the drug for an unlabeled indication. PHP and Blue Shield have reimbursed users for Depo-Provera prescriptions in Minnesota. Minnesota's Medicaid (Medical Assistance) has paid for Depo-Provera since July 1990. The author added that she has never seen a failure of this method in 30 years of use when given correctly, that is 150 mg every 90 days.
