STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS29300 / S1260
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 1 (one) to 3 (three) month supply of contraceptive supplies. This legislation will require any health benefit
plan issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2023, 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.
FISCAL NOTE
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.
