Updated: Sep 30, 2025

Summary

This bill amends chapter 17 of title 38, United States Code, to mandate that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs allow eligible veterans to receive a full-year supply of prescribed contraceptive products. Specifically, it ensures that veterans enrolled in the VA healthcare system can elect to fill prescriptions for contraceptive pills, transdermal patches, vaginal rings, or other approved contraceptive products for a 12-month period. Furthermore, the legislation requires VA medical providers to actively inform veterans about this new option when prescribing such contraceptives. The bill broadly defines "contraceptive product" to include any FDA-approved drug, device, or biological product intended for pregnancy prevention or other health needs, whether for contraception or other health needs.
