Bill overview
This bill requires Michigan health insurance plans to cover the cost of a 12-month supply of prescription birth control for their policyholders. It mandates that insurers provide this coverage at a pharmacy within their network, unless the patient requests a smaller supply. The bill also aims to prevent insurers from limiting the supply of birth control to less than a 12-month supply, except under specific FDA guidelines. Coverage will begin on December 31, 2025.
