Bill > SF2069

This bill creates a health equity program and fund within the Iowa Department of Public Health. The program will provide reimbursement for the costs of menstrual and post-menstrual health services and treatments that are not otherwise covered by insurance, including hormone treatments, urinary tract treatments, vaginal estrogens, and other services related to conditions like periods, fibroids, endometriosis, perimenopause, and menopause. The program is funded by a standing appropriation from the state's general fund, which reflects the total revenue collected from sales taxes on period products and diapers. The bill also directs the department to establish a process for provider registration and reimbursement, and to submit an annual report on the program's status.
