Clarifies coverage requirements for health insurers of over-the-counter contraceptive drugs.

The bill amends existing law to clarify that health insurers in New Jersey must provide coverage for over-the-counter contraceptive drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Coverage includes prescriptions for dispensing contraceptives for up to a 12-month period at one time, without a prescription or provider order. It also mandates coverage for voluntary male and female sterilization, patient education, and counseling on contraception.
