What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, health insurance policies and self-insured governmental

health plans that provide coverage of outpatient health care services, preventive

treatments and services, or prescription drugs and devices are required to provide

coverage of certain contraceptives and related services, including outpatient

consultations, examinations, procedures, and medical services that are necessary to

prescribe, administer, maintain, or remove a contraceptive. This bill requires that

health insurance policies and self-insured governmental health plans that are

required to provide such contraceptive coverage under current law also provide

coverage for sterilization procedures and patient education and counseling. Health

insurance policies are referred to in the statutes as disability insurance policies.

This proposal may contain a health insurance mandate requiring a social and

financial impact report under s. 601.423, stats.
