Policy Work
We will pursue and oversee implementation of cost-effective policies that leverage public dollars to expand coverage of and payment for contraceptive services. Our priorities include:
- Expanding coverage eligibility for people currently in the Contraceptive Coverage Gap.
- Increasing points of contraceptive care via telehealth, pharmacy dispensing, and direct to consumer delivery.
- Improving health plan quality by ensuring adequate network coverage and referrals for reproductive health care, and by incorporating contraceptive counseling quality as a performance metric.

The PATH Framework
The PATH Framework is a patient-centered model designed to help providers and staff engage in conversation with patients and clients about their sexual and reproductive health. It is based around a shared-decision making model, designed to yield maximal amount of information in an efficient way and it can be used with patients of any demographic without judgement. The brief ICAN! quiz extrapolates from the PATH framework serving as a simple tool to better understand one’s contraceptive preferences prior to the appointment with the provider. Thank you to Patty Cason, founder of PATH for sharing her work with ICAN! Easy instructions on how to share the link or embed the quiz onto your website can be found here.
