How can I schedule a LARC appointment?
First, check with USC Student Health to make sure you have the Student Health Insurance Plan (Aetna). If you do not have Aetna, you can still schedule an IUD visit with Planned Parenthood’s Family Planning Only Services program.
Ready to go with your Student Health Insurance Plan? Follow these steps!
- Go to usc.edu/myshr
- Navigate to “Appointments > Schedule an Appointment.”
- Navigate to ““Medical > Sexual and Reproductive Health > Female Sexual Health Visit >Contraception.”
- Choose “I want to inquire about Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC).”
- You will get an auto reply with additional information regarding next steps.
- The staff will confirm your insurance eligibility and a LARC insertion appointment will be made for you.
- The nursing staff will communicate with you through secure messages. Be sure to ask them any questions or concerns that are on your mind. They are here to help! A consult appointment can also be made if your questions require more than secure messaging, but this isn’t required for your insertion appointment.
How much does a LARC cost?
If you have the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP, provided through Aetna), your LARC and insertion is covered! There is no additional cost to you. If you have a different insurance plan, please contact your private insurance and ask about LARC services and coverage through their network. USC Student Health can only schedule LARC appointments for SHIP-covered students.
You can also schedule a visit with Planned Parenthood for an IUD placement through their Family Planning Only Services program:
