Bill overview
This bill, the Closing the Contraception Coverage Gap Act, amends the Social Security Act to ensure that Medicare covers contraceptive items and services at no cost-sharing. It expands the definition of ‘contraceptive items and services’ to include ancillary clinical services and patient-centered counseling. The bill also adjusts Medicare payment rates and removes barriers to coverage, and includes provisions for studies on prescription drug coverage for beneficiaries with disabilities, coverage requirements for various health plans, and differences in contraceptive coverage for dual-eligible individuals.
