This bill mandates that insurance providers cover a 12-month supply of prescription contraceptives for individuals. It amends existing sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 33-22-101, 33-31-111, and 33-35-306, to ensure that this coverage is included in health insurance plans.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions for a delayed effective date and specifies an applicability date, allowing for a transition period before the new requirements take effect. This legislation aims to improve access to contraceptive methods and support reproductive health by ensuring that individuals can obtain a full year's supply of contraceptives without facing additional barriers.
