Vermont Access to Birth Control Law

Signed into law in May 2016, the Vermont Access to Birth Control law is one of the most comprehensive birth control access laws in the country.

What does the Vermont Access to Birth Control law do?

  • Codifies the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) birth control benefit for Vermonters, ensuring no-cost birth control.
  • Provides access to one year’s supply of prescription birth control.
  • Recognizes pregnancy as a “qualifying event” on the health exchange.
  • Improves access to long acting reversible contraception (LARC) by increasing Medicaid provider reimbursement.
