As part of NCDHHS and the Governor's continued work to expand access to reproductive health services, NC Medicaid now covers over-the-counter contraception in pharmacies across the state. Starting Thursday, August 1, 2024, the oral contraceptive Opill is available through local and retail pharmacies without a prescription, at no cost for NC Medicaid beneficiaries. Opill is the first over-the-counter oral contraception that has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
