HB 2002 prohibits a carrier offering a health benefit plan from denying or limiting coverage for medically necessary gender affirming treatment that is prescribed in accordance with accepted standards of care. The bill also prohibits health benefit plans from applying cosmetic or blanket exclusions to medically necessary gender affirming treatment and establishes requirements for notices of adverse benefit determinations and network adequacy.
HB 2002 requires the Department of Consumer and Business Services to adopt rules to implement these provisions. The HB 2002 RAC will provide advice and recommendations on a set of proposed rules that will carry out this statutory obligation.
