OBJECTIVES: To identify patients unable to obtain postpartum bilateral tubal ligations (ppBTLs) due to policy prohibiting "elective" procedures for COVID-positive patients at a single academic medical center in New Jersey.
RESULTS: Upon retrospective chart review of patients requesting ppBTLS, of 110 ppBTL requests between identified via retrospective chart review between February 1, 2020, and February 28, 2022, 24 (22%) were canceled due to COVID infection. Of these patients, 10 (42%) were uninsured, 13 (54%) had Medicaid, and 22 (92%) were Hispanic/Latinx. Postpartum, five (21%) obtained interval tubal ligation, seven (37%) never received contraception, and one had a future pregnancy.
CONCLUSIONS: This policy affected uninsured patients by preventing access to permanent contraception.
