Medicaid recipients in Wisconsin are getting access to the first over-the-counter birth control pill.
How to make sure the used car you’re buying is ready to hit the road before you shell out cashFILE - This undated photo provided by Perrigo Company shows boxes of Opill, the first over-the-counter birth control pill. Medicaid recipients in Wisconsin will have access to the first over-the-counter birth control pill starting Tuesday, March 19, 2024, allowing them to easily receive contraceptive medication with no out-of-pocket costs or doctor's prescription, Gov. Tony Evers announced.
BadgerCare Plus currently covers over-the-counter daily oral contraception with a prescription from a provider. A new standing order from Evers will allow for Opill to be available without a prescription and with no out-of-pocket costs.
Opill is an older class of contraceptives, sometimes called minipills, that contain a single synthetic hormone, progestin. Minipills generally carry fewer side effects than more popular combination estrogen and progestin pills. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
