SB 1742 Oklahoma Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Health benefit plans; requiring reimbursement of certain one-year prescriptions subject to certain requirements. Effective date.

This bill amends an existing law to clarify that health benefit plans are not required to cover contraceptive drugs intended for non-routine use. The change specifically adds a provision stating that coverage is only mandatory for contraceptives used regularly or routinely. This amendment directly affects health insurance plans and their policies regarding contraception coverage. By adding this exception, the bill ensures that plans do not have to pay for contraceptives used for purposes other than regular birth control.
