Bill No. 176, introduced by Senators Dossett and Roe, aims to enhance coverage for contraceptive drugs under health benefit plans in Oklahoma. The bill defines "contraceptive drugs" as those approved by the FDA for pregnancy prevention and establishes that any health benefit plan offered, issued, or renewed after the effective date must provide coverage for a three-month supply of a contraceptive drug upon the first request and a six-month supply for subsequent requests. This provision allows enrollees to obtain one six-month supply of a covered prescription drug every six months, while also permitting requests for smaller quantities based on clinical utility and medical appropriateness.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not mandate coverage for medications intended to terminate an existing pregnancy. The new law is set to be codified as Section 6060.3b of Title 36 in the Oklahoma Statutes and will take effect on November 1, 2025.
