Emergency contraception & Medicaid: A state-by-state analysis and advocate's toolkit

The Institute for Reproductive Health Access, the National Health Law Program, the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health Access, and Ibis Reproductive Health are pleased to present to the reproductive health advocacy community: Emergency contraception & Medicaid: A State-by-state analysis and advocate’s toolkit. This toolkit has two purposes. The first is to provide an overview of the range of issues that women on Medicaid currently face in accessing emergency contraception (EC). The second purpose is to identify specific steps that advocates can take at the local level to address barriers that may exist in their state and to lay the groundwork for eventual Medicaid coverage of non-prescription EC. By working together at the state and federal level we have the potential to greatly increase access to EC for many low-income women.
