| 20 |  | follows:
 | 
| 21 |  |  (215 ILCS 5/356z.4)
 | 
| 22 |  |  Sec. 356z.4. Coverage for contraceptives.  | 
| 23 |  |  (a)(1) The General Assembly hereby finds and declares all  | 
| 24 |  | of the following: | 
     | 
 |  | SB1561 Enrolled | - 11 - | LRB103 27713 CPF 54090 b |  
  | 
| 
 | 
| 1 |  |   (A) Illinois has a long history of expanding timely  | 
| 2 |  |  access to birth control to prevent unintended pregnancy. | 
| 3 |  |   (B) The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care  | 
| 4 |  |  Act includes a contraceptive coverage guarantee as part of  | 
| 5 |  |  a broader requirement for health insurance to cover key  | 
| 6 |  |  preventive care services without out-of-pocket costs for  | 
| 7 |  |  patients. | 
| 8 |  |   (C) The General Assembly intends to build on existing  | 
| 9 |  |  State and federal law to promote gender equity and women's  | 
| 10 |  |  health and to ensure greater contraceptive coverage equity  | 
| 11 |  |  and timely access to all federal Food and Drug  | 
| 12 |  |  Administration approved methods of birth control for all  | 
| 13 |  |  individuals covered by an individual or group health  | 
| 14 |  |  insurance policy in Illinois. | 
| 15 |  |   (D) Medical management techniques such as denials,  | 
| 16 |  |  step therapy, or prior authorization in public and private  | 
| 17 |  |  health care coverage can impede access to the most  | 
| 18 |  |  effective contraceptive methods. | 
| 19 |  |  (2) As used in this subsection (a): | 
| 20 |  |  "Contraceptive services" includes consultations,  | 
| 21 |  | examinations, procedures, and medical services related to the  | 
| 22 |  | use of contraceptive methods (including natural family  | 
| 23 |  | planning) to prevent an unintended pregnancy. | 
| 24 |  |  "Medical necessity", for the purposes of this subsection  | 
| 25 |  | (a), includes, but is not limited to, considerations such as  | 
| 26 |  | severity of side effects, differences in permanence and  |

| 
 | 
| 1 |  | reversibility of contraceptive, and ability to adhere to the  | 
| 2 |  | appropriate use of the item or service, as determined by the  | 
| 3 |  | attending provider. | 
| 4 |  |  "Therapeutic equivalent version" means drugs, devices, or  | 
| 5 |  | products that can be expected to have the same clinical effect  | 
| 6 |  | and safety profile when administered to patients under the  | 
| 7 |  | conditions specified in the labeling and satisfy the following  | 
| 8 |  | general criteria: | 
| 9 |  |   (i) they are approved as safe and effective; | 
| 10 |  |   (ii) they are pharmaceutical equivalents in that they  | 
| 11 |  |  (A) contain identical amounts of the same active drug  | 
| 12 |  |  ingredient in the same dosage form and route of  | 
| 13 |  |  administration and (B) meet compendial or other applicable  | 
| 14 |  |  standards of strength, quality, purity, and identity; | 
| 15 |  |   (iii) they are bioequivalent in that (A) they do not  | 
| 16 |  |  present a known or potential bioequivalence problem and  | 
| 17 |  |  they meet an acceptable in vitro standard or (B) if they do  | 
| 18 |  |  present such a known or potential problem, they are shown  | 
| 19 |  |  to meet an appropriate bioequivalence standard; | 
| 20 |  |   (iv) they are adequately labeled; and | 
| 21 |  |   (v) they are manufactured in compliance with Current  | 
| 22 |  |  Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. | 
| 23 |  |  (3) An individual or group policy of accident and health  | 
| 24 |  | insurance amended,
delivered, issued, or renewed in this State  | 
| 25 |  | after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 99th  |

| 2 |  |   (A) All contraceptive drugs, devices, and other  | 
| 3 |  |  products approved by the United States Food and Drug  | 
| 4 |  |  Administration. This includes all over-the-counter  | 
| 5 |  |  contraceptive drugs, devices, and products approved by the  | 
| 6 |  |  United States Food and Drug Administration, excluding male  | 
| 7 |  |  condoms, except as provided in the current comprehensive  | 
| 8 |  |  guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services  | 
| 9 |  |  Administration. The following apply: | 
| 10 |  |    (i) If the United States Food and Drug  | 
| 11 |  |  Administration has approved one or more therapeutic  | 
| 12 |  |  equivalent versions of a contraceptive drug, device,  | 
| 13 |  |  or product, a policy is not required to include all  | 
| 14 |  |  such therapeutic equivalent versions in its formulary,  | 
| 15 |  |  so long as at least one is included and covered without  | 
| 16 |  |  cost-sharing and in accordance with this Section. | 
| 17 |  |    (ii) If an individual's attending provider  | 
| 18 |  |  recommends a particular service or item approved by  | 
| 19 |  |  the United States Food and Drug Administration based  | 
| 20 |  |  on a determination of medical necessity with respect  | 
| 21 |  |  to that individual, the plan or issuer must cover that  | 
| 22 |  |  service or item without cost sharing. The plan or  | 
| 23 |  |  issuer must defer to the determination of the  | 
| 24 |  |  attending provider. | 
| 25 |  |    (iii) If a drug, device, or product is not  | 
| 26 |  |  covered, plans and issuers must have an easily  |

| 2 |  |  process that is not unduly burdensome on the  | 
| 3 |  |  individual or a provider or other individual acting as  | 
| 4 |  |  a patient's authorized representative to ensure  | 
| 5 |  |  coverage without cost sharing. | 
| 6 |  |    (iv) This coverage must provide for the dispensing  | 
| 7 |  |  of 12 months' worth of contraception at one time. | 
| 8 |  |   (B) Voluntary sterilization procedures. | 
| 9 |  |   (C) Contraceptive services, patient education, and  | 
| 10 |  |  counseling on contraception. | 
| 11 |  |   (D) Follow-up services related to the drugs, devices,  | 
| 12 |  |  products, and procedures covered under this Section,  | 
| 13 |  |  including, but not limited to, management of side effects,  | 
| 14 |  |  counseling for continued adherence, and device insertion  | 
| 15 |  |  and removal. | 
| 16 |  |  (4) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (a), a  | 
| 17 |  | policy subject to this subsection (a) shall not impose a  | 
| 18 |  | deductible, coinsurance, copayment, or any other cost-sharing  | 
| 19 |  | requirement on the coverage provided. The provisions of this  | 
| 20 |  | paragraph do not apply to coverage of voluntary male  | 
| 21 |  | sterilization procedures to the extent such coverage would  | 
| 22 |  | disqualify a high-deductible health plan from eligibility for  | 
| 23 |  | a health savings account pursuant to the federal Internal  | 
| 24 |  | Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 223.  | 
| 25 |  |  (5) Except as otherwise authorized under this subsection  |

| 4 |  | agency, promulgates rules or regulations to be published in  | 
| 5 |  | the Federal Register or publishes a comment in the Federal  |

| 7 |  | would require the State, pursuant to any provision of the  | 
| 8 |  | Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law  | 
| 9 |  | 111-148), including, but not limited to, 42 U.S.C.  | 
| 10 |  | 18031(d)(3)(B) or any successor provision, to defray the cost  | 
| 11 |  | of any coverage outlined in this subsection (a), then this  | 
| 12 |  | subsection (a) is inoperative with respect to all coverage  | 
| 13 |  | outlined in this subsection (a) other than that authorized  | 
| 14 |  | under Section 1902 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C.  | 
| 15 |  | 1396a, and the State shall not assume any obligation for the  | 
| 16 |  | cost of the coverage set forth in this subsection (a). | 
| 17 |  |  (b) This subsection (b) shall become operative if and only  | 
| 18 |  | if subsection (a) becomes inoperative.  | 
| 19 |  |  An individual or group policy of accident and health  | 
| 20 |  | insurance amended,
delivered, issued, or renewed in this State  | 
| 21 |  | after the date this subsection (b) becomes operative that  |

deductible, coinsurance, waiting period, or other  | 
| 3 |  | cost-sharing or limitation
that is greater than that required  | 
| 4 |  | for any outpatient service or outpatient
prescription drug or  | 
| 5 |  | device otherwise covered by the policy.
 | 
| 6 |  |  Nothing in this subsection (b) shall be construed to  | 
| 7 |  | require an insurance
company to cover services related to  | 
| 8 |  | permanent sterilization that requires a
surgical procedure.  | 
| 9 |  |  As used in this subsection (b), "outpatient contraceptive  | 
| 10 |  | service" means
consultations, examinations, procedures, and  | 
| 11 |  | medical services, provided on an
outpatient basis and related  | 
| 12 |  | to the use of contraceptive methods (including
natural family  | 
| 13 |  | planning) to prevent an unintended pregnancy.
 | 
| 14 |  |  (c) (Blank).
 | 
| 15 |  |  (d) If a plan or issuer utilizes a network of providers,  | 
| 16 |  | nothing in this Section shall be construed to require coverage  | 
| 17 |  | or to prohibit the plan or issuer from imposing cost-sharing  | 
| 18 |  | for items or services described in this Section that are  | 
| 19 |  | provided or delivered by an out-of-network provider, unless  | 
| 20 |  | the plan or issuer does not have in its network a provider who  | 
| 21 |  | is able to or is willing to provide the applicable items or  | 
| 22 |  | services.

| 13 |  |  primary purpose of the office visit is the delivery of  |

| 10 |  |  concern by a federal agency authorized to regulate the  |

| 12 |  |  (e) Network limitations. | 
| 13 |  |   (1) Subject to paragraph (3) of this subsection,  | 
| 14 |  |  nothing in this Section requires coverage for items or  | 
| 15 |  |  services described in subsection (a) that are delivered by  | 
| 16 |  |  an out-of-network provider under a health maintenance  | 
| 17 |  |  organization health care plan, other than a  |

| 4 |  |   (3) If a policy does not have in its network a provider  | 
| 5 |  |  who can provide an item or service described in subsection  | 
| 6 |  |  (a), then the policy must cover the item or service when  | 
| 7 |  |  performed by an out-of-network provider and it may not  |

| 9 |  |  (f) Nothing in this Section prevents a company from using  | 
| 10 |  | reasonable medical management techniques to determine the  |

| 12 |  | service described in subsection (a) to the extent not  | 
| 13 |  | specified in the recommendation or guideline. | 
| 14 |  |  (g) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prohibit  | 
| 15 |  | a policy from providing coverage for items or services in  | 
| 16 |  | addition to those required under subsection (a) or from  | 
| 17 |  | denying coverage for items or services that are not required  | 
| 18 |  | under subsection (a). Unless prohibited by other law, a policy  | 
| 19 |  | may impose cost-sharing requirements for a treatment not  | 
| 20 |  | described in subsection (a) even if the treatment results from  | 
| 21 |  | an item or service described in subsection (a). Nothing in  | 
| 22 |  | this Section shall be construed to limit coverage requirements  | 
| 23 |  | provided under other law. |

| 4 |  |  (i) For student health insurance coverage as defined at 45  | 
| 5 |  | CFR 147.145, student administrative health fees are not  | 
| 6 |  | considered cost-sharing requirements with respect to  | 
| 7 |  | preventive services specified under subsection (a). As used in  |

| 9 |  | fee charged by an institution of higher education on a  | 
| 10 |  | periodic basis to its students to offset the cost of providing  | 
| 11 |  | health care through health clinics regardless of whether the  | 
| 12 |  | students utilize the health clinics or enroll in student  | 
| 13 |  | health insurance coverage. | 
| 14 |  |  (j) For any recommendation or guideline specifically  | 
| 15 |  | referring to women or men, a company shall not deny or limit  | 
| 16 |  | the coverage required or a claim made under subsection (a)  | 
| 17 |  | based solely on the individual's recorded sex or actual or  | 
| 18 |  | perceived gender identity, or for the reason that the  | 
| 19 |  | individual is gender nonconforming, intersex, transgender, or  | 
| 20 |  | has undergone, or is in the process of undergoing, gender  | 
| 21 |  | transition, if, notwithstanding the sex or gender assigned at  |
