Bill Summary
To amend sections 9.04, 1739.05, and 5101.56 and to enact sections 1751.95 and 3923.591 of the Revised Code to prohibit insurers from offering coverage for abortion services.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits insurers, including health insuring corporations and sickness and accident insurers, from providing coverage for nontherapeutic abortions under any policy, contract, or plan issued, delivered, or renewed in Ohio. A "nontherapeutic abortion" is defined as an abortion performed when the life of the mother would not be endangered if the fetus were carried to term, and it includes drugs or devices used to prevent the implantation of a fertilized ovum, but excludes procedures for ectopic pregnancies or emergency situations where the abortion is medically necessary to save the pregnant woman's life. The bill also prohibits the use of state or local funds for payment or reimbursement of nontherapeutic abortions, while still allowing coverage for the treatment of any postabortion complications.
