Birth Control Pill Price Information

 

The 2005 Deficit Reduction Act, which went into effect January 2007 impacts the ability for college health centers to continue purchasing oral contraceptives at discount pricing.  A recent article published by The Associate Press and linked to CNN.com describes the impact to college students. The Davison Health Center is currently working to purchase generic oral contraceptives to replace the supply of discounted birth control pills.  The expected cost will be $20 per pack, but could be higher.  Every effort will be made to keep the pricing as low as possible.

April 2008 update: The American College Health Association is currently making progress to reinstate the nominal price exemption for college and university health centers and restore access to affordable contraception for college students through bills R 4054/S. 2347, the "Prevention through Affordable Access Act." We will keep you updated on progress as it occurs.
