Expands insurance coverage for all FDA-approved contraceptive drugs, devices, and products (including over-the-counter and emergency contraception), so more insurance-funded access to medication-based contraception.
all FDA-approved contraceptive drugs, devices, and other products, including all over-the-counter contraceptive drugs, devices, and products as prescribed or as otherwise authorized under state or federal law
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends insurance law to mandate coverage for FDA-approved contraceptives (including OTC and emergency), sterilization, education/counseling, follow-up services, 12-month dispensing, and pharmacist administrative fees for hormonal contraceptives; these provisions expand insurance funding and access for contraception but do not address abortion procedures, gestational limits, or medication abortion specifically.
