In November 2017, the Contraceptive ACCESS bill was signed into law. This landmark legislation strengthened Massachusetts law to ensure access to no-copay birth control while (1) improving access to the full range of contraceptive options and (2) removing existing barriers to care.

Per this state law, if you are taking the pill or using the patch or ring, your insurance should cover a 12-month supply dispensed AT ONCE without any form of cost-sharing (copay, deductible, etc). In other words, you should get 12-months worth of pill packs, rings, or patches in a single visit to the pharmacy without paying anything.

Dispensing of a 12-month supply of contraceptives at once has been shown to increase consistent birth control use and reduce unintended pregnancy. The Contraceptive ACCESS law is even more important now, during the COVID-19 crisis, as we are all minimizing trips to places like pharmacies.

We have heard some reports that individuals have had trouble accessing this benefit.
