Health plans now cover hormonal IUD for the treatment of endometriosis

Mandatory coverage by health plans of the hormonal intrauterine device or system (IUD/IUS) for patients with endometriosis takes effect this Thursday, Oct 1. The measure was approved by the National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS) on Sep 18 and will expand the treatment options available to beneficiaries diagnosed with the condition. The update to the List of Health Procedures and Events (Rol) includes the device itself and all procedures for its placement. The hormonal IUD/IUS will be guaranteed to women with endometriosis in cases of contraindication to, or non-adherence to, combined oral contraceptives, as provided in Guideline for Use (DUT) 175, of Annex II of Normative Resolution 465/2021.
