Memorandum


Senate Bill 524, if enacted, would seek to improve family planning services. SB 524 requires insurance coverage for specified sterilization procedures. The passage of SB524 would have no fiscal impact on the operations, revenues or expenses of the Offices of the Insurance Commissioner. It should be noted that SB 524 does not contain language limiting the insurance benefits provided under the proposed bill to the essential health benefits (EHB) specified under section 130(b) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). PPACA 1311 (d)(3)provides that a state must defray the cost by direct payment to enrollees or to the Plan of any state mandated benefit in excess of the EHB. To the extent that the health insurance benefits required by SB 524 do not fall within the EHB, a potential cost to the State exists.
