SB 2313 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to health benefit plan coverage of anxiety and pain management in connection with insertion or removal of prescription contraceptive devices.

SB 2313 requires health benefit plans covering prescription contraceptive devices (like IUDs or implants) to also cover evidence-based anxiety and pain management services specifically during the insertion or removal of those devices. This applies to all health plans delivered, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026. The law directly affects health insurers and individuals using prescription contraceptives who need support managing discomfort or anxiety during device procedures. It does not change coverage for the contraceptives themselves but adds a new requirement for related care. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, with the coverage mandate starting in 2026.
