Access to LARCs Act

The Access to LARCs Act would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a study on access to a range of contraceptive methods at community health centers located in health care deserts, defined as areas with fewer than one community health center per 1,000 women in need. The study would examine barriers such as reimbursement, inventory stocking, provider training, and patient education, and identify which centers receive Title X funding. The Secretary must submit a report to Congress within 180 days of enactment detailing the findings. The bill affects community health centers and women eligible for federal health care benefits in underserved areas.
