Contraceptive Use Among Medicaid Recipients

Medicaid, the largest payer for publicly funded contraception, accounts
for 75 percent of all public funds spent on contraceptive services and
supplies.

In Health Affairs, Maria Rodriguez and colleagues examine newly
available 2018 Medicaid claims data
<[link removed]>
and find "substantial place-based inequities in contraceptive use and
provision across the US" among Medicaid beneficiaries.

Age-adjusted county-level rates of most or moderately effective
contraceptive use varied from a low of 10.8 percent to a high of 44.4
percent and rates of long-acting reversible contraception varied from a
low of 1.0 percent to a high of 9.6 percent.

The authors consider a variety of factors at the individual, state, and
state Medicaid program levels that may cause the variation, and note the
large state-level variations they observe suggest "state-level actions
might be an important lever to promote contraceptive choice."
