H.F. 4211 Summary

• Removes vasectomies from the definition of "contraceptive service" in Minnesota Statutes 62Q.522, effectively requiring health plans to cover vasectomies separately from contraceptive coverage exclusions.

• Redefines "contraceptive service" to exclude vasectomies while continuing to cover other voluntary sterilization procedures, patient education, counseling, and related follow-up services.

• Applies to health plans offered, issued, or renewed on or after January 1, 2025.

• Preserves religious exemptions for eligible organizations and exempt organizations that object to contraceptive coverage on religious grounds, but does not extend these exemptions to vasectomy coverage.
