] to reflect recent increases in the average wholesale price (AWP) of the Mirena IUS
to $844 (an increase of 44% over the AWP of $586 in the original paper), of the ParaGard
IUD to $718 (an increase of 45% over the AWP of $494 in the original paper), of the
Implanon implant to $791 (an increase of 26% over the AWP of $627 in the original
paper) and of the injectable Depo-Provera to $102 (an increase of 34% over the AWP
of $76 in the original paper). The results for Implanon are the same for its replacement
Nexplanon. We also correct an error in the annualized cost of the Mirena IUS in years
1���4 in previous corrections and updates; we are grateful to Anna Filonenko for pointing
out this error. We note that calculated benchmark price has replaced AWP as the new
pricing term but is calculated the same way.
