What this bill would do

The Convenient Contraception Act seeks to amend title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act. This amendment would require group health plans and health insurance issuers to allow enrollees to obtain a 365-day supply of contraceptives. These supplies can be obtained in a single fill or refill at the individual's option. The law specifies that this coverage must be provided without any cost-sharing requirements. The new requirements would apply to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
