Complete·5/29/25

Oklahoma SB176 mandates coverage for contraceptive drugs in health benefit plans, effective November 1, 2025.

Oklahoma SB176 requires health benefit plans to cover contraceptive drugs approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, including hormonal drugs administered orally, transdermally, and intravaginally. The bill defines "health benefit plan" and "contraceptive drugs," and mandates coverage for these drugs in any plan offered, issued, or renewed after the act's effective date. Enrollees can obtain only one twelve-month supply of a covered drug per year, but nothing in the act prohibits smaller supplies if clinically appropriate.
