On April 19, 2024, the Office of the Superintendent of Insurance (OSI) confirmed that New Mexico insurance carriers had begun providing coverage for Opill, the first over-the-counter birth control pill approved by the FDA.
The OSI’s announcement came just six weeks after Opill became available over the counter and includes a reminder that New Mexico health insurance carriers are required to cover the cost of certain over-the-counter contraceptives purchased at in-network pharmacies and to create a reimbursement process for out-of-network pharmacies.
Employers that sponsor insured plans issued in the state should be aware of the announcement and contact their carriers for further information.
