STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS28529 / S1098
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
the prescribing provider may request a smaller contraceptive supply.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation requires insurers to expand their contraceptive coverage. This legislation does not mandate any
appropriations and does not mandate any future appropriations. This legislation will not negatively affect the
general fund or any dedicated fund.
