Over-the-Counter Contraceptives Are Now Free for Washingtonians With Insurance

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 50%. (I'm a bot)

That provision expanded abortion access to greater number of Washingtonians, giving a greater number of women control over their own goddamned reproductive health choices.

Namely: As of January 1, 2019, all Washingtonians with state-regulated insurance can now pick up over-the-counter contraceptives for free at their in-network pharmacies, according to the Office of the Insurance Commissioner.

Those contraceptives include "Condoms, spermicides, emergency contraceptives, and sponges."

In an e-mail, a representative for the OIC told me that some insurers were trying to work out how to do reimbursements if you have purchased the contraceptives noted above or have gotten snipped since Jan. 1 of this year.

You can find out more information about that in your benefits book, which will also give you any other instructions you need about picking up the contraceptives.

If you have any troubles accessing any of this stuff, the Insurance Commissioner of Washington wants to know.
