House Bill 4468 amends Michigan's insurance code to require health insurers to provide specific coverage related to gender transition. The bill mandates coverage for all adverse consequences, including short- or long-term side effects, related to an enrollee's gender transition procedure or treatment. It also requires coverage for annual mental and physical health monitoring for these enrollees. Furthermore, HB 4468 requires coverage for any procedure or treatment necessary to reverse an enrollee's gender transition, even if the enrollee was not covered by the policy at the time of the original procedure.

What changed between versions

House Introduced Bill As Passed by the House · 3 edits · Jun 3, 2026
MINOR
The bill was reformatted for clarity, removing page headers and footers while preserving the core text. The most significant substantive change is a modification to the eligibility rule: the requirement for insurers to cover gender transition procedures now explicitly applies only if the individual was already enrolled in the policy at the time the procedure was performed, whereas the previous version did not include this specific condition.
Scope change
The scope of coverage eligibility was narrowed by adding a prerequisite that the enrollee must have been active in the policy during the time of the gender transition procedure or treatment.
ELIGIBILITY

Added a condition requiring the enrollee to be an active policyholder at the time of the gender transition procedure or treatment to qualify for coverage.

TECHNICAL

Removed page headers, footers, and date stamps that were present in the original introduction version.

Reformatted line breaks and spacing to improve readability without altering the legal text.
