Summary
The FDA extended the Nexplanon REMS certification enrollment deadline from August 23, 2026, to February 23, 2027. All providers performing Nexplanon insertions or removals must complete FDA-required REMS certification by the new deadline to maintain access to the product. No billing impact, but provider credentialing must be verified.
Action Required
By February 23, 2027: Verify that all providers performing Nexplanon insertions or removals have completed FDA REMS certification. Credentialing/compliance team should maintain a list of certified providers and update provider directories. After February 23, 2027, do not allow non-certified providers to perform Nexplanon procedures, as claims may be denied due to lack of provider certification. No action needed on encounter forms or billing systems at this time.
