The House passed four bills Friday, including House Bill 4198, relating to contraceptive drugs.
House Bill 4198 permits a person to obtain a 12-month supply of contraceptive drugs at one time, using their insurance. The bill states that a health benefit plan that provides coverage shall allow the insured to receive the contraceptive drugs on-site at the provider’s office, if available. Dispensing practices must follow all guidelines for prescribing and dispensing in order to protect the health of the patient, while also maximizing access for contraceptive drugs.
