Bill > HB3006

This bill amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to expand medical assistance program coverage for hormone therapy treatment for menopause. Previously, the program only covered hormone therapy for menopause induced by a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus). The new bill removes this restrictive language, allowing coverage for medically necessary hormone therapy to treat menopause more broadly, regardless of the cause. This change means that individuals experiencing menopause can now potentially receive hormone therapy treatment through the medical assistance program, even if their menopause was not specifically caused by a surgical procedure. The bill becomes effective immediately, which means the expanded coverage can be implemented right away, potentially improving healthcare access for people experiencing menopausal symptoms.
