Family Planning
Voluntary family planning services are a covered benefit for PHP members who choose to delay or prevent pregnancy. Covered services include medical, surgical, pharmacological and laboratory services, contraceptive devices, as well as information and counseling necessary to allow members to make informed decisions regarding family planning methods. No authorization is required for family planning services; however the diagnosis must indicate family planning.
Covered services include, but are not limited to, the following for male and female members:
- Condoms
- Depo-Provera
- Diaphragms
- Emergency Oral Contraception
- Foams, jellies, suppositories
- Intrauterine device (IUD)
- Natural Family Planning
- Oral Contraception
- Sterilization (bilateral tubal ligation and vasectomy requires Prior Authorization)
At least annually, Phoenix Health Plan and AHCCCS require documentation in the medical record that your members of reproductive age were notified either verbally or in writing of the availability of family planning.
For questions, please call your Provider Representative or the Maternal Child Health department at 602-824-3700 or 1-800-747-7997.
