Summary
Connecticut will allow licensed pharmacists to prescribe hormonal contraceptives and emergency contraception starting January 1, 2024, following completion of required training programs. This expands access to contraceptive prescriptions beyond traditional healthcare providers to include certified pharmacists.
Action Required
Connecticut practices only: Be aware that patients may receive hormonal contraceptive prescriptions from pharmacists starting January 1, 2024. No billing changes required as pharmacist prescriptions follow standard prescription billing processes. Monitor for any coordination of care documentation needs when patients receive contraceptives from pharmacists rather than physicians.
