AN ACT CONCERNING TWELVE-MONTH COVERAGE FOR CONTRACEPTION AND HORMONE THERAPY.

Summary

The bill mandates that both private/group health insurance plans and Connecticut’s Medicaid program reimburse a full twelve‑month quantity of prescribed hormone therapy and FDA‑approved contraceptives when dispensed at once. Coverage can be reduced only if the patient or prescribing provider requests a smaller amount, or if the medication is a controlled substance, in which case the maximum allowed refills must be covered. The goal is to improve access by eliminating the need for multiple pharmacy visits.
