Summary

The bill mandates that health insurers in Alaska must cover prescription birth‑control drugs and the related medical services, and that state‑run health plans and Medicaid must also pay for them. It bars copays, deductibles, and denial based on method changes, while allowing a narrow exemption for religious employers that meet specific IRS criteria. The provisions become effective only after federal approval of the Medicaid plan amendment.
