Though we’ve won OTC access for the 1st time in US history, there's still work to be done to lay the groundwork for future OTC switches of other birth control pills & the fight continues for insurance coverage affordability. Support our work today ➡️ bit.ly/FreeThePill-donate

NY state law requires insurance plans to cover over-the-counter birth control without a prescription, but are insurance companies actually following these laws? We want to find out, and we need your help! #GettingBusy #BirthControlAccess #OTCCoverage #Opill

Legislation requiring health insurance coverage of contraceptive related services provided by pharmacists has passed both the NYS Senate and Assembly! This prevents out of pocket costs to patients and improves uptake of these services. #GettingBusy #BirthControlAccess
