“We are writing on behalf of the Free the Pill coalition to urge the Administration to issue immediate guidance clarifying that under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), insurance plans must cover all United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved over-the-counter (OTC ) birth control, without a prescription or cost-sharing.
The FDA’s recent approval of a progestin-only pill as the first-ever OTC birth control pill has the potential to increase access for many who need birth control and face barriers to accessing prescription products. As Opill hits store shelves in early 2024, we must ensure that it’s affordable and accessible to everyone who wants or needs it.”
