The Access to Contraception Expansion for Veterans Act (ACE Veterans Act) requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to allow eligible veterans to receive a full year's supply of contraceptive medications and devices at once, rather than obtaining them through multiple refills. The bill applies to veterans enrolled in VA health care who have been prescribed contraceptive pills, patches, vaginal rings, or other FDA-approved contraceptive products by a VA provider. VA medical providers must inform veterans of this full-year supply option when prescribing these contraceptives. The legislation does not specify new funding requirements, as it modifies existing VA pharmacy operations. No particular implementation timeline is specified in the bill.
