This bill amends various chapters of the General Laws to mandate coverage for pain control methods during intrauterine device (IUD) insertion for active and retired employees of the Commonwealth, as well as for Medicaid recipients and individuals covered under private insurance plans. Specifically, it requires that coverage includes methods such as intravenous sedation, oral sedation, nitrous oxide, local anesthesia, or topical anesthesia, as prescribed by a qualified provider. The bill stipulates that this coverage shall not be subject to any deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, or other cost-sharing requirements, except as mandated by federal law. Additionally, it ensures that coverage cannot impose unreasonable restrictions or delays.

The bill also includes provisions that allow employers who are churches or qualified church-controlled organizations to opt out of these requirements, provided they give written notice to prospective enrollees about the contraceptive health care methods and services they refuse to cover for religious reasons. The amendments apply to various types of insurance policies, including those under the group insurance commission, Medicaid managed care organizations, and private health insurance plans, ensuring comprehensive coverage for pain management during IUD insertion across different insurance frameworks.
