Convenient Contraception Act
This bill requires group health plans and individual health insurance plans to cover a full year's supply (up to 365 days) of contraceptives without any cost-sharing (like copays or deductibles), for any contraceptive already mandated by law. It directly affects individuals enrolled in these health plans who use prescribed contraceptives, ensuring they can access a full year's supply in one transaction. The key provision eliminates cost barriers for a 365-day supply, applying to all contraceptives covered under existing law. The requirement takes effect for plan years starting January 1, 2026, and includes a requirement for federal agencies to inform enrollees and providers about the new coverage rules.
