(b) Except as provided in subsection (c), all policies, contracts, plans, or agreements under subsection (a), that provide contraceptive services or supplies, or prescription drug coverage, shall not exclude any prescription contraceptive supplies or impose any unusual copayment, charge, or waiting requirement for such supplies.

[(c)] (d) Coverage for oral
contraceptives shall include at least one brand from the monophasic,

care provider beyond that provided in the laws governing the provider's
practice and privileges."
