SB 5602: Reproductive health care

Eliminating barriers to reproductive health care for all.

Summary

  • Prohibits the Health Care Authority, Medicaid managed care plans, health plans, and student health plans from automatically denying coverage for reproductive health care services that are ordinarily or exclusively available to individuals of one gender based on the fact that the individual's gender assigned at birth, gender identity, or gender recorded in government documents is different from the gender for which the services are ordinarily or exclusively available.
  • Requires that health plans and student health plans provide coverage for condoms, screening and services for health needs arising from a sexual assault, well-person preventive visits, prenatal vitamins, and breast pumps.
  • Requires health carriers offering qualified health plans to bill enrollees through a single invoice.
  • Requires hospitals to submit polices to the Department of Health related to access to care regarding admissions, nondiscrimination, and reproductive health care.
  • Directs the Bree Collaborative to identify, define, and endorse guidelines for the provision of high quality sexual and reproductive health services, including recommendations for care for people of color, immigrants and refugees, victims and survivors of violence, and people with disabilities.
