Senate Bill 756 amends current health insurance laws in Wisconsin to expand coverage requirements for health insurance policies and self-insured governmental health plans. Specifically, the bill mandates that these plans not only cover outpatient consultations, examinations, and procedures necessary for contraceptive services but also include coverage for sterilization procedures, as well as patient education and counseling related to these services. The existing language that limited coverage to situations where contraceptives were covered under the policy has been removed.

The bill outlines that it will apply to policy or plan years beginning on the effective date of the legislation, with specific provisions for policies affected by collective bargaining agreements. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the fourth month following its publication. Additionally, it may require a social and financial impact report due to the new health insurance mandate.
