↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 80%
Requires coverage for emergency contraception without cost-sharing when provided pursuant to a prescription, order, or over-the-counter, increasing access to medication-based contraception.
This coverage shall include emergency contraception without cost sharing when provided pursuant to a prescription, or order under section sixty-eight hundred thirty-one of the education law or when lawfully provided over-the-counter.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends insurance law to mandate expanded coverage in health policies for FDA-approved contraceptives (including OTC), emergency contraception, sterilization, education/counseling, follow-up services, 12-month dispensing, and pharmacist administrative fees for dispensing self-administered hormonal contraceptives, all without cost-sharing. This directly addresses abortion-related topics of funding/insurance and medication abortion by increasing access; no provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or immigration enforcement.
