Proposed Rule: Insurers & OTC Birth Control

10/23/2024 1:47 PM | Maggie Garry (Administrator)

The Biden Administration recently proposed a rule which could require insurers to expand coverage to over-the-counter birth control including oral contraceptives, condoms and emergency contraception at no cost for those with private insurance.  Health plans currently cover the cost of contraceptives prescribed to members.  The new rule would allow coverage for members without the need for a prescription including contraceptives and the morning after pill.  There will be a 60-day public comment period, and the proposed rule could go into effect in 2025.
