A health plan must provide coverage for all services and supplies required under RCW 48.43.072 and 48.43.073. Effective January 1, 2021, a student health plan must also provide coverage for all services and supplies required under RCW 48.43.072.

(1) Required coverage of contraceptive services and supplies includes, but is not limited to:

(a) All prescription and over-the-counter contraceptive drugs, devices, and other products approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration;

(b) Voluntary sterilization procedures; and

(c) The consultations, examinations, procedures, and medical services that are necessary to prescribe, dispense, insert, deliver, distribute, administer, or remove the drugs, devices, and other products or services in (a) and (b) of this subsection.

(2) A health plan that provides coverage for maternity care or services must also provide a covered person with substantially equivalent coverage to permit the abortion of a pregnancy. For the coverage to be substantially equivalent, a health plan must not apply cost-sharing or coverage limitations differently for abortion and related services than for maternity care and its related services unless the difference provides the enrollee with access to care and treatment commensurate with the enrollee's specific medical needs, without imposing a surcharge or other additional cost to the enrollee beyond normal cost-sharing requirements under the plan.

(3) This subchapter does not diminish or affect any rights or responsibilities provided under RCW 48.43.065.
