Shapiro Administration to Invest $1.8 Million to Improve Care for Pregnant Women and Babies by Tackling Maternal Health Issues

0 Comments

Harrisburg, PA – The Department of Health is kicking off Black Maternal Health Week (April 11-17) by announcing today that community-based organizations can apply for grants to help address maternal health concerns across the Commonwealth through the creation of regional coalitions. Governor Shapiro secured first-ever state funding for this effort in the 2023-24 budget, and the Shapiro Administration is making up to $1.8 million available from the current budget for these efforts.

Maternal health is a concern nationally, with the rate of pregnancy-associated deaths on the rise in recent years. In Pennsylvania, there are 83 pregnancy-associated deaths per 100,000 live births. In 2020, 107 Pennsylvanians lost their lives during pregnancy, delivery, or within one year postpartum. Black women are nearly two times more likely to die during pregnancy or in the first year after a pregnancy than white women.

Following Insurance Guidance from Shapiro Administration, CVS Health Plans Joins Geisinger Health Plans to Cover Over-the-Counter Birth Control at No Cost

0 Comments

April 10, 2024

PRESS RELEASE

Governor Shapiro is calling on other insurers to follow suit.

Governor Shapiro has always defended women’s access to reproductive healthcare – and he is calling on more insurers to expand access to this critical healthcare with or without a prescription.

Harrisburg, PA – Last week, with the launch of the first ever FDA approved over-the-counter (OTC) daily birth control pill, Opill, Governor Josh Shapiro urged health insurers in Pennsylvania to make contraception more accessible and affordable without unnecessary hurdles. Within a week, major insurers CVS Health Plans and Geisinger Health Plans announced that they will cover OTC contraception with or without a prescription at no cost – and Governor Shapiro is encouraging other insurers to follow their example.

“Last week, my Administration issued best practice guidance to health insurers to cover over the counter birth control with or without a prescription – and I called on insurance companies to step up. I am glad to see that CVS Health Plans are joining Geisinger Health Plans to cover Opill without a prescription — and more insurers should follow suit,” said Governor Josh Shapiro. “I’ve always fought to protect and defend access to reproductive healthcare, and my Administration will continue to hold insurers accountable and ensure that women have the personal freedom to make choices over their own bodies.”
