West Virginia HB5185 aims to enhance access to contraceptive drugs, devices, and procedures by mandating coverage in health insurance plans.

West Virginia HB5185 seeks to increase access to contraceptive drugs, devices, and procedures by requiring health insurance plans to cover contraceptives, sterilization procedures, patient education, and follow-up services. The bill mandates coverage for up to a 12-month supply of prescribed contraceptives and prohibits cost-sharing for these services. It also ensures that religious employers can exclude contraceptive coverage if it conflicts with their beliefs, but must inform enrollees of this exclusion.
