AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to let enrolled veterans who are prescribed birth control pills, patches, vaginal rings, or other contraceptive products by a VA provider choose to fill that prescription as a full-year supply. VA medical providers who prescribe these products would have to tell the veteran about the full-year supply option. The bill defines a contraceptive product as a drug, device, or biological product approved or cleared by federal law for preventing pregnancy, including when used for other health needs.
