Contraceptive Coverage
Contraceptive coverage refers to health insurance policies that include costs for birth control methods, such as pills, IUDs, and condoms, without out-of-pocket expenses for the insured. This coverage aims to make reproductive health care more accessible, allowing individuals to plan if and when they want to have children. In the U.S., the Affordable Care Act requires many insurance plans to cover these services, promoting equal access to family planning and preventing unintended pregnancies. It reflects a commitment to women's health and autonomy in making personal reproductive choices.
