Key Points

This bill would let veterans get a 12-month supply of birth control all at once from the VA. This includes pills, patches, and vaginal rings.
Doctors at the VA would be required to tell veterans that they have the option to get a full year of their prescription at one time.
The goal is to make it easier for veterans to stay on their medication without having to worry about monthly refills or trips to the pharmacy.
This change would apply to any veteran enrolled in VA healthcare who receives a prescription for pregnancy prevention or other health needs.
