Authorizes withholding state medical assistance reimbursements from retail entities (including chains) that decline to sell or dispense FDA-approved products that prevent pregnancy, so more entities will provide such products to avoid losing funding.
The commissioner is authorized to withhold any and all funds due to any retail entity reimbursed from a medical assistance program for income eligible individuals that declines to make available, dispense, distribute, or sell a product approved by the federal government which would block, prevent, or otherwise negate a pregnancy in any jurisdiction within and subject to such federal government.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a provision to public health law authorizing the commissioner to withhold medical assistance program reimbursements from retail entities that decline to sell, dispense, or distribute FDA-approved pregnancy-preventing products (including in other states via common ownership), which incentivizes greater availability of such products and thus expands access to medication abortion and related funding mechanisms.
