Longer birth control supplies for insured Oklahomans

Beginning November 1, 2025, Oklahoma health plans offered, issued, or renewed must follow these rules if they cover birth control drugs. Plans must cover a three-month supply at once the first time you get a drug. Each later time you get the same drug, plans must cover a six-month supply at once. This applies even if you were not enrolled in that plan when you first got the drug. You can get only one six-month supply during each six-month period. You can request less, and your provider can prescribe less when medically appropriate and useful for your care. Covered birth control drugs include all pregnancy-prevention drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, including pills, patches, and vaginal drugs. The law does not require coverage for drugs that can end an existing pregnancy.
