Implement policies and systems so patients do not encounter financial barriers to discontinuing a contraceptive method and, if desired, obtaining another method.

Strategy
Ensure procedure (i.e., CPT or Current Procedural Terminology) codes commonly used for contraceptive counseling and care are accurate and up-to-date in the health center’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) or superbill/encounter form.
Action Step(s)
  • Verify that codes and modifiers in the EHR or superbill/encounter form are up-to-date and accurate
  • Conduct in-services with clinicians and staff, as needed, to address inappropriate or inaccurate coding.
