Requires insurance coverage for childbirth education classes

HB 251 (requires insurance coverage for childbirth education classes) mandates that health insurance plans in Missouri cover childbirth education classes as a required benefit. This directly affects pregnant individuals and those planning pregnancy who have health insurance, ensuring they can access these classes without out-of-pocket costs. The bill repeals existing insurance provisions and adds new language requiring coverage for these classes under Missouri law. It does not specify additional funding or implementation details beyond the coverage requirement.
