AI Summary
This bill requires health plans in Minnesota to provide coverage for abortions and abortion-related services, including preabortion and follow-up services, starting on January 1, 2025. It prohibits health plans from imposing any limitations on this coverage, such as cost-sharing requirements or prior authorization, except for high-deductible health plans that need to maintain eligibility for health savings accounts. The bill also requires medical assistance (Medicaid) to cover abortions and abortion-related services starting on January 1, 2025, or upon federal approval, whichever is later. Additionally, the bill repeals a provision that excluded elective, induced abortions from the definition of "maternity benefits" in private health insurance policies.
