STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28377 / S1050
This legislation allows enrollees to receive up to a 12 (twelve) month supply of prescribed contraceptives
if they so choose. Currently, many insurance plans reimburse for only a 1 (one) to 3 (three) month supply
of contraceptive supplies. This legislation will require any health benefit plan issued or renewed on or after
January 1, 2022, that covers contraceptives approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration, to provide
reimbursement for up to a 12 (twelve) month refill supply obtained at one time by the enrollee. The enrollee or
prescribing provider may request a smaller contraceptive supply.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no foreseen fiscal impact to the general fund because this legislation deals with a policy change for
insurance companies.
