Relates to coverage for prenatal vitamins
This bill requires most health insurance plans to cover prenatal vitamins when prescribed by licensed healthcare providers (such as doctors or nurse practitioners). It applies to all medical, major medical, and similar comprehensive insurance policies sold in the state, including those covering prescription drugs. Coverage may still include standard deductibles and coinsurance, consistent with other benefits in the policy. The law aims to ensure access to prenatal vitamins without additional out-of-pocket costs beyond typical plan requirements.
