This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 256B.0625, by adding a new subdivision that mandates coverage for the removal of intrauterine devices (IUDs) under medical assistance programs. Specifically, it states that medical assistance will cover the removal of IUDs, with the provision becoming effective on January 1, 2027, or upon federal approval, whichever occurs later. The commissioner of human services is tasked with notifying the revisor of statutes once federal approval is obtained.

Additionally, the bill includes appropriations for the implementation of this coverage. It allocates funds from the general fund for medical assistance and from the health care access fund for MinnesotaCare, both for the fiscal year 2027, with specified base amounts for the following two fiscal years. These appropriations are intended to support the coverage of IUD removals as outlined in the newly added subdivision.
