Full text
(a) A contract between a health insurer and a health care provider issued, amended, or renewed on or after January 1, 2025, shall authorize a provider to separately bill for devices, implants, or professional services, or a combination thereof, associated with immediate postpartum contraception if the birth takes place in a general acute care hospital or licensed birth center. The provider contract shall not consider those devices, implants, or services to be part of a payment for a general obstetric procedure.
(b) For purposes of this section, “immediate postpartum contraception” means the postpartum insertion of intrauterine devices or contraceptive implants performed before the insured is discharged from the general acute care hospital or licensed birth center and includes the devices or implants themselves.
(c) This section does not affect an insured’s right to directly access women’s health care services, including contraceptive services, and informed consent.
