Modifies provisions relating to insurance coverage of self-administered hormonal contraceptives
HB 2370 requires health insurance plans in the state to cover self-administered hormonal contraceptives (like birth control pills or patches) for up to 90 days (or 180 days for generic versions) starting January 1, 2026, and for up to one year starting January 1, 2027. The coverage must include both generic and brand-name options and cannot impose higher deductibles or co-payments than other standard health services. This bill specifically excludes emergency contraception and medications used to terminate pregnancy from its requirements. It directly affects health insurance plans and individuals using these contraceptive methods by expanding coverage duration and cost-sharing rules.
