AB1130,1,2
1An Act to create 632.895 (17) (b) 3. of the statutes;
relating to: requiring
2coverage of the dispensing of an extended supply of contraceptives.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires certain health insurance policies, known in the statutes as
disability insurance policies, and self-insured governmental and school district
health plans to cover a dispensing of contraceptives that is intended to last for three
months for the first dispensing and a dispensing of contraceptives that is intended
to last for 12 months for subsequent dispensings of that contraceptive.
Contraceptives are drugs or devices approved by the federal Food and Drug
Administration to prevent pregnancy. Under current law, those policies and plans
must cover the cost of contraceptives prescribed by a health care provider and of
services that are necessary to prescribe, administer, maintain, or remove the
contraceptive. The coverage requirement under the bill does not apply to a
dispensing of a contraceptive that expires or becomes ineffective in less than 12
months.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
