"With the addition of pharmacist-prescribed contraception in Massachusetts, we are putting choice back in the patients' hands and giving them options in how, where, and when they get their contraception," said Sabadosa.
CVS emphasized the need to increase birth control access across America, noting that nearly 20 million women live in areas labeled as 'contraceptive deserts' which lack sufficient birth control methods.
The new process involves a $39 consultation for health screening, during which a pharmacist will determine the best birth control option for eligible patients, enhancing accessibility.
Massachusetts joins ten other states allowing CVS pharmacists to prescribe birth control, reflecting a growing trend to empower pharmacists in reproductive health services and improve women's health outcomes.
