The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced steps voluntarily taken by CVS and Walgreens to improve timely access to medications to support persons with disabilities, women experiencing miscarriages and early pregnancy loss, and those seeking access to contraceptives. OCR received complaints against pharmacies for denying and delaying lawful access to medications, such as methotrexate and misoprostol. Other women filed complaints based on delays in accessing emergency contraceptives. None of the medications were prescribed in violation of State laws banning or restricting abortion or were for the purpose of abortion. All of the medications reported in the complaints were prescribed to women who were experiencing pregnancy loss, have disabilities, or were seeking access to contraceptives. In the aggregate, the complaints alleged that the pharmacies had delayed or denied filling prescriptions to treat conditions unrelated to abortion, due to the gender or age of the woman who was prescribed the medication. Since Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, women across the country have reported delays in accessing medication for purposes unrelated to abortion. OCR’s action today resolves the complaints against CVS and Walgreens.
