Closing the Contraception Coverage Gap Act

This bill would add contraceptive items and services to Medicare Part B coverage starting January 1, 2027, with Medicare paying 100 percent and no deductible applying. Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans could not charge cost-sharing for these items and services, and Part D drug plans would have to cover contraceptive drugs listed in federal guidelines with no deductible or cost-sharing. The Department of Health and Human Services would have to make sure people enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid get contraceptive coverage at least as complete as their state Medicaid coverage. The bill also requires federal studies and reports to Congress on contraceptive coverage, including for Medicare beneficiaries with disabilities and for people enrolled in both programs.
