Over-the-Counter Contraceptives: Insurance Coverage Mandated

Key points
Health insurance plans must cover over-the-counter contraceptives without additional costs.
Retailers stocking over-the-counter contraception cannot interfere with its purchase or access to information.
The act seeks to expand access to contraception, especially for low-income individuals and those in underserved areas.
