Medicaid Reimbursement for the Female Condom.

Objectives: To examine state-level female condom use through Medicaid from 2004 to 2014, because in 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) allowed for expanded Medicaid coverage in many states, extending requirements for contraceptive care to more of the poorest women in the United States and to most women with private insurance.

Methods: We collected data via brief survey of Medicaid offices in all 50 states between March 2015 and March 2016.

Results: The number of states providing Medicaid reimbursement for the female condom increased 33% (from 25 to 36) since 2007.
