Health Occupations, Public Health, and Insurance - Menopause - Provider Training Coverage Requirements, Policy Initiatives, and Access to Care

Summary

The bill requires health‑occupation licensing boards to award at least two continuing‑education credits for each hour of menopause training completed by clinicians, and directs the state health department to identify an approved training program. It also obligates insurers, nonprofit health service plans and HMOs to cover evaluation and management of menopause and related symptoms for policies issued after Jan 1 2027. The measure further changes the membership of the State Advisory Council on Health and Wellness and tasks the Maryland Commission for Women with a menopause‑care evaluation.
