Free Over-the-Counter Birth Control: Mandating Insurance Coverage Without Prescription.
This bill aims to guarantee free access to FDA-approved over-the-counter (OTC) contraceptives for insured individuals. It requires health plans to cover the full cost of these methods, eliminating the need for a prescription or cost-sharing (copays/deductibles). This change significantly lowers financial barriers and simplifies access to birth control.
Key points
Health insurance plans must cover the full cost of FDA-approved over-the-counter contraceptives.
Insured individuals will not face cost-sharing (copays, deductibles) and will not need a prescription to obtain coverage for these OTC methods.
