LB68

Nebraska LB68 would ensure insurance and Medicaid coverage for certain contraceptives.

Nebraska LB68 would amend the Medical Assistance Act to ensure insurance and Medicaid coverage for certain contraceptives. The bill mandates that insurance policies and the medical assistance program cover a twelve-month supply of a self-administered hormonal contraceptive upon the first prescription. It also prohibits cost-sharing for an alternative method of contraception if a covered individual changes methods before exhausting their supply. The bill does not require providers to prescribe a twelve-month supply or permit policies to reimburse providers on a per-unit basis.
