Summary

Effective Jan 1 2028, individual and group accident‑and‑health insurance policies in Illinois must provide coverage for up to a six‑month amount of prescription hormone therapy and the supplies needed for patients to give themselves the medication. The coverage applies when a qualified provider writes a valid prescription, and pharmacists may dispense the full amount at once, including controlled substances up to the legal maximum. The change aims to improve access for people who need hormone treatment, such as transgender individuals.
