This document is a sterilization consent form (Med-178) for Health First Colorado, Colorados Medicaid program. It outlines the patients rights, including the right to refuse sterilization without losing benefits.
Does Medicaid cover tubal ligation? Medicaid covers sterilization surgery in most states. Forty states and Washington, D.C. have expanded their Medicaid programs, and female sterilization surgeries are required to be covered.
Female sterilization (e.g., tubal ligation) for females is covered under Medicare only when it is necessary as part of the treatment of an illness or injury. However, under Medicaid and most private plans, the procedure is covered without cost sharing.
Theres a good chance you can get a tubal ligation for free (or at a reduced price) if you have health insurance. Most insurance plans must cover all methods of birth control with no cost to you, including some female sterilization procedures. Learn more about health insurance and birth control.
Tubal ligations are often fully covered by insurance as a form of contraception, whereas tubal removal (salpingectomy) may not be covered or go toward a patients deductible.
