CA AB2129

Requires contracts between health care service plans or health insurers and health care providers, issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2025, to authorize separate billing for devices, implants, or professional services related to immediate postpartum contraception.

Defines "immediate postpartum contraception" as the postpartum insertion of intrauterine devices or contraceptive implants performed before discharge from a general acute care hospital or licensed birth center, including the devices or implants themselves.

Prohibits provider contracts from treating immediate postpartum contraception devices, implants, or services as part of payment for a general obstetric procedure.

Does not affect enrollees' or insureds' rights to directly access women's health care services, contraceptive services, or informed consent.

Clarifies that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts under Article XIII B of the California Constitution because costs result from changes in criminal penalties.
