Coverage of vasectomies by health plans, the medical assistance program, and MinnesotaCare requirement provision

This bill requires health insurance plans, Minnesota's medical assistance program, and MinnesotaCare to cover vasectomies as part of contraceptive services. It amends Minnesota Statutes by removing the current exclusion of vasectomies from the definition of "contraceptive service" in section 62Q.522. The change ensures vasectomies must be covered under the same requirements as other contraceptive methods, including medical necessity considerations. The policy takes effect January 1, 2026, applying to health plans offered, issued, or renewed on or after that date.
