TYPES OF IUDs AND IMPLANTS
What’s an IUD?
An IUD (Intrauterine Device) is a small, T-shaped device that's put into your uterus to prevent pregnancy. It’s long-term, reversible, and one of the most effective birth control options.

Effectiveness of the Birth Control Implant in Your Arm | Planned Parenthood Video
What is the birth control implant?
The birth control implant (Nexplanon®) is a tiny, thin rod about the size of a matchstick. The implant releases hormones into your body that prevent you from getting pregnant. An advanced practice clinician inserts the implant into your upper arm and that’s it — you’re protected from pregnancy for up to 5 years. It’s get-it-and-forget-it birth control.
Payment and Insurance Options:
Planned Parenthood Los Angeles will not turn away any patient because of an inability to pay. We accept multiple private insurance plans, Medi-Cal, and for patients who self-pay, fees are based on a sliding scale. Most often, the patient has either low or no out of pocket costs. Please note, sometimes insurance coverage means covered in part. Depending on the health plan, patients may owe a deductible or a co-payment, which at times can be expensive. Our team can help patients determine if they are eligible for presumptive Medi-Cal, Family PACT, or grant funded services depending on their unique circumstances.
