↑Expands abortion accessmodel confidence 70%
Requires health insurance policies to cover contraceptives, related services, and pharmacist reimbursement without cost-sharing, expanding insurance mandates for these services.
This coverage shall provide for reimbursement to a pharmacist who dispenses self-administered hormonal contraceptives pursuant to section sixty-eight hundred one of the education law and provides related services the same as any other health care provider.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends insurance law to mandate coverage for FDA-approved contraceptives (including emergency contraception), patient education, follow-up services, and pharmacist dispensing/reimbursement of self-administered hormonal contraceptives without cost-sharing. This directly addresses abortion via expanded insurance access to medication abortion methods like emergency contraception and related services; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
