SENATE BILL 1234
RS30918 / S1234
This legislation allows enrollees to receive up to a six (6) month supply of prescribed contraceptives if they so choose or if they are on an established prescription already. Currently, many insurance plans reimburse for only a one (1) to three (3) month supply of contraceptive supplies. This legislation will require any health benefit plan issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2025, which covers contraceptives approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration, to provide reimbursement for up to a six (6) month refill supply obtained at one time by the enrollee. The exception is if the enrollee has never been prescribed prescription contraception; then the provider shall provide a smaller supply.
This legislation requires insurers to expand their contraceptive coverage. This legislation does not mandate any appropriations and does not mandate any future appropriations. This legislation will not negatively affect the general fund or any dedicated fund.
