CVS Pharmacists Empowered to Prescribe Birth Control in Massachusetts
Expanded Access to Hormonal Contraceptives
CVS pharmacists in Massachusetts are now authorized to prescribe birth control, improving patient access to hormonal contraceptives. This change allows pharmacists to evaluate patients' needs and offer the necessary prescriptions without requiring a separate visit to a physician.
Benefits of Pharmacist Prescribing
- Convenience: Patients can obtain birth control directly from their local CVS.
- Accessibility: This move addresses barriers to reproductive health services.
- Efficiency: Streamlined process saves time for patients.
