A new law that took effect Jan. 1 will make it easier for TennCare recipients to access contraceptives. According to Fox 17 news, SB1919 allows patients to receive a 12-month prescription for birth control and pick up the medication directly from a doctor's office instead of a pharmacy. Tennessee joins 24 other states that have adopted similar legislation designed to streamline access to contraceptives.
