Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would require most Kentucky health insurance plans, including Medicaid, the state employee plan, and college employee plans, to cover contraception without cost-sharing. It also would allow pharmacists to prescribe and dispense hormonal contraceptives directly, and would direct the state to seek a Medicaid waiver to extend family planning services to certain low-income individuals not currently covered. Who it may affect: Kentuckians with health insurance, Medicaid recipients, low-income individuals, state and public university employees, and people seeking contraception from a pharmacist.
