Relating to: coverage of tests for sexually transmitted diseases by health insurance policies and plans. (FE)

This bill requires health insurance plans covering state or local government employees (including disability insurance and self-insured health plans) to cover FDA-approved home test kits for sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, when medically necessary and ordered by a healthcare provider. It defines "home test kits" as self-collection products meeting CDC/FDA standards (like CLIA waivers or FDA approval) for use outside clinical settings. Coverage must include all associated lab processing costs for qualifying kits. The law applies to government-affiliated health plans, effective 4 months after publication.
