Yes, it should be. ACOG has published a recommendation on coding for it which can be found at: https://www.acog.org/education-and-events/publications/larc-quick-coding-guide

It should always be payable unless the insurer policy has included it.

You should check each carrier's policy AND your contracts. Often, large healthcare systems have contracts that add or remove things from standard policy. That being said, I am not aware of any carrier (for me) that bundles IUD placement into global maternity.
