Access to LARCs Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to study whether women eligible for federal health care programs can get two or more contraceptive methods at community health centers in health care deserts. A health care desert is defined as a state or local area with fewer than 1 community health center for every 1,000 such women. The study would look at reimbursement, inventory stocking, provider training, patient education, and other barriers, and would identify which centers receive Title X family planning funding. The Secretary would have to report the results to Congress within 180 days after the bill becomes law.
