      Does carevix® remove all pain?

      Every person’s experience is different. Clinical results show significant reductions in pain and bleeding compared with a traditional tenaculum, but the tenaculum is not the only possible source of discomfort. Cervical stabilization is not required for every procedure, and healthcare professionals may use different techniques. Talk with your provider about your individual pain-management needs and ask whether and how they plan to stabilize your cervix.

      Is carevix® covered by health insurance?

      Coverage may depend on the reason for the procedure and your insurer. When an IUD is inserted solely for contraceptive purposes, carevix® may not be covered. When the procedure’s indication is covered, the use of carevix® may be covered as well. Examples include IUD insertion due to idiopathic hypermenorrhea and endometrial biopsies. Please confirm coverage with your healthcare provider or insurer.
