↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 90%
Requires health insurance policies that cover prescription contraception to also cover abortion medication (including when provided without a prescription), expanding insurance coverage for abortion.
Any policy under this article that covers contraception when provided pursuant to a prescription shall cover abortion medication as defined in subdivision thirty-one of section sixty-eight hundred two of the education law, when provided pursuant to an ordinary prescription or order under section sixty-eight hundred one or sixty-nine hundred two of the education law and when lawfully provided other than through a prescription or order.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds provisions to public health, education, and insurance laws that expand access to medication abortion by authorizing pharmacist and nurse dispensing via non-patient-specific orders (with training, risk assessment, and fact-sheet requirements) and by mandating equivalent insurance coverage to contraception; these directly address medication-abortion access and funding/insurance under the abortion topic with an expanding effect; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
