On December 1, 2023, the LDI Maternal and Reproductive Health Working Group submitted a public comment in response to a Request for Information (RFI) from the U.S. Departments of the Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services. The RFI sought input on a proposed policy which would require insurance coverage of over-the-counter (OTC) preventive items and services without a prescription by a health care provider.
The comment highlights the obstacles that many patients, especially those from marginalized communities, face in accessing affordable birth control, and expresses the importance of and mechanisms for ensuring that OTC contraceptives are available without financial or logistical barriers.
