Medicaid recipients in Wisconsin now have access to the first over-the-counter birth control pill without needing a doctor's prescription, Gov. Tony Evers announced.

Medicaid recipients in Wisconsin will have access to the first over-the-counter birth control pill starting Tuesday, allowing them to easily receive contraceptive medication with no out-of-pocket costs or doctor's prescription, Gov. Tony Evers announced. Evers, a Democrat, promised in his State of the State speech in January that Opill would be available to people in the state's Medicaid program known as BadgerCare Plus.

A new standing order from Evers will allow for Opill to be available without a prescription and with no out-of-pocket costs. The suggested retail price from manufacturer Perrigo for a one-month supply is about $20. The Food and Drug Administration in July approved the sale of once-a-day Opill without a prescription.
