Assembly Bill 754 mandates that health insurance policies and self-insured governmental health plans in Wisconsin must cover home test kits for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including the associated laboratory costs for processing these kits. The bill specifies that a home test kit must be recommended by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, and it must meet certain regulatory standards, such as receiving FDA approval or being developed in compliance with established quality standards. Coverage is required if the use of the kit is deemed medically necessary and is ordered by a healthcare provider or provided through a standing order.

The bill introduces new sections to the statutes, specifically creating 609.803 and 632.895 (13m), which outline the requirements for coverage of STD testing. It stipulates that disability insurance policies and self-insured health plans must provide coverage for home test kits that allow individuals to self-collect specimens for STDs, including HIV, outside of clinical settings. The act will take effect four months after publication and will apply to policy or plan years beginning on the effective date, with specific provisions for those affected by collective bargaining agreements.
