Medicare typically does not cover Birth Control methods, including the vaginal ring, as it primarily focuses on services for seniors aged 65 and older. However, some Medicare Advantage plans may offer additional benefits that include contraceptive coverage. For those under 65 with certain disabilities, coverage may vary based on the specific plan. It's best to check with your plan provider for detailed information.
