Increasing Access to Contraception
All people deserve access to the full range of contraceptive options. If they choose to use contraception, they must be able to choose the method that is right for them, and be able to stop or change that method at any time.
NIRH is working in Colorado, which expanded reproductive coverage for Coloradans who use Medicaid, to ensure the implementation process is equitable, efficient, and communicated to communities most in need.
