Why 4/5: Significantly alters health insurance coverage requirements and consumer out-of-pocket costs for contraceptives.
This bill mandates that health insurance plans cover all FDA-approved contraceptive drugs and devices, including over-the-counter options, with most cost-sharing eliminated. It will reduce out-of-pocket expenses for individuals by requiring point-of-sale coverage without copays for over-the-counter hormonal contraceptives.
