The pill is set to hit retail shelves early next year, but costs for consumers could be a barrier.
With over-the-counter birth control pills headed to pharmacy shelves early next year, big questions remain about costs and accessibility, according to new research from health-policy research nonprofit KFF.
Federal law generally requires most private health plans to cover FDA-approved contraception, but health plans often require a prescription to trigger that coverage, according to KFF. Some states, including New Jersey, New York and Washington, require state-regulated private health insurance plans to cover some types of over-the-counter contraception without a prescription.
In June, one year after a U.S. Supreme Court decision overturned the constitutional right to an abortion, President Joe Biden issued an executive order calling for better access to contraception, including expanded access to affordable over-the-counter contraception methods.
