A preventive medicine programme is set up organising, on a national level, contraception for women aged under 30.
This programme is part of a national plan which aims to:
- promote sexual and reproductive health, for women as well as couples;
- promote healthy living and implementation of policies simplifying general access to high quality information concerning sexual and reproductive health;
- promote amongst women the choice of contraceptive best adapted to their needs and make it accessible;
- reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and voluntary terminations of pregnancies, in particular among young people;
- prevent sexually transmitted infections;
- evaluate the measures taken on a statistical and epidemiological level.
This agreement targets all females covered by the CNS, under the age of 30, provided that the services (as part of the programme) and their follow-up are provided in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
These women are entitled to 13 cycles per year of contraceptives published in a restrictive list, at a normal reimbursement rate of 80%. They are also entitled to a flat rate cover of an intrauterine device (IUD) delivered as part of the programme, corresponding to 80% of the amount exposed, with a maximum of 75 euros (maximum refund amount: 60 euros).

Reimbursement
The preventive medicine programme targets all females covered by the CNS, under the age of 30, provided that the services (as part of the programme) and their follow-up are provided in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Coverage is based on a delivery in a luxemburgisch pharmacy with a medical prescription issued by a doctor in Luxembourg.
These women are entitled to 13 cycles per year of contraceptives published in a restrictive list, at a normal reimbursement rate of 80%.
They are also entitled to a flat rate cover of an intrauterine device (IUD) delivered as part of the programme, corresponding to 80% of the amount exposed, with a maximum of 75 euros. The maximum amount reimbursed is therefore EUR 60 and applies to any spiral authorised in Luxembourg. There is currently no act in the nomenclature of doctors for the insertion of the IUD.
Under no circumstances is it necessary to request cost coverage from the CNS.
