This bill aims to significantly improve access to contraceptive products for veterans by mandating that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs ensure that veterans enrolled in the VA healthcare system can elect to receive a full-year supply of prescribed contraceptive pills, transdermal patches, vaginal rings, and other similar products. Under this legislation, any VA medical provider prescribing these contraceptive products must notify the veteran of their option to fill the prescription for a full year. The term "contraceptive product" is broadly defined to include any drug, device, or biological product approved by the FDA for pregnancy prevention, whether for that specific purpose or other health needs.
