H.R. 10559 — LARC Access Expansion Act

This section authorizes the Secretary to award grants to eligible health centers to train at least two full-time health care professionals on long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) provision and to procure and maintain LARC inventory for same-day insertion. Grants may not support emergency contraception. Eligible centers must serve areas with high infant or maternal mortality, medically underserved populations, health professional shortage areas, or maternity care shortage areas; may not receive title X funds; and must certify they perform no abortions and provide no funds to entities that do.

This section establishes a demonstration program authorizing the Secretary to award grants to health centers that receive section 330 funds but not title X funds and that certify they will neither perform nor fund abortions during the grant period. Grantees must form consortia to coordinate telehealth consultations and referrals for long-acting reversible contraception at community clinics, with priority for rural areas, but may not use funds for emergency contraception.
