In January 2025, LDI Senior Fellows Alice Abernathy, MD, MSHP, and Abigail Wilpers, PhD, WHNP-BC, co-chairs of the Maternal and Reproductive Health Working Group, submitted a public comment in response to a Proposed Rule from the U.S. Departments of the Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services. The proposed rule would require insurance coverage of over-the-counter (OTC) preventative items and services without a prescription by a health care provider. This comment builds on a previous comment submitted by the LDI Maternal and Reproductive Health Working Group on the same topic.
On January 15, 2025, the Proposed Rule was withdrawn.
