HB 1683 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Vision insurance; noncovered services or materials; prohibitions; effective date; emergency.

HB 1683 requires Oklahoma health benefit plans that cover contraceptive drugs to provide a three-month supply at the first use and a six-month supply at each subsequent use for the same drug, with only one six-month supply allowed every six months. This applies to plans offered, renewed, or issued on or after November 1, 2025, directly affecting insured individuals seeking contraceptive coverage and the insurance plans themselves. The bill does not mandate coverage for contraceptive drugs not intended for regular use and permits smaller supplies if a healthcare provider deems it medically appropriate. It standardizes access to contraceptive drugs under insurance plans without altering existing coverage requirements for other services.
