A bill to amend title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act to require group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage to permit enrollees to obtain a 365-day supply of contraceptives.
S 2427 requires group health plans and health insurance issuers (both group and individual plans) to cover a full year's supply (up to 365 days) of contraceptives that are already mandated to be covered under existing law. This means enrollees can obtain a one-time refill for a full year's supply without any additional cost-sharing (like copays or deductibles). The rule applies to all plans with coverage effective January 1, 2024, and requires federal agencies to inform providers and enrollees about the new requirement within 90 days of the law's enactment. The bill directly affects people with health insurance who use prescribed contraceptives, ensuring easier access without extra out-of-pocket costs for a full year's supply.
