Bill Summary
CONCERNING INCREASING ACCESS TO REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH-CARE SERVICES, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to increase access to reproductive health-care services in Colorado. The key provisions include:
- Requiring health benefit plans to cover HIV prevention drugs and services without cost-sharing, and to cover the treatment of sexually transmitted infections and sterilization services without cost-sharing.
- Directing the state Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to administer a reproductive health-care program that provides reproductive health-care services to participants without imposing any cost-sharing requirements.
- Prohibiting carriers from requiring step therapy or prior authorization for prescription drugs used to treat or prevent HIV.
- Allowing minors to consent to contraceptive procedures, supplies, or information without notification to or consent from a parent or guardian.
- Establishing a Family Planning Access Collaborative to identify and address gaps in access to family planning services.
The bill also appropriates funding to the Department of Public Health and Environment and the Department of Regulatory Agencies to implement these changes.
