AI Summary

  • Establishes a state assistance program within the Department of Social Services to cover the full cost of vasectomies for uninsured Missouri residents who lack employer-sponsored or public health insurance coverage

  • Eligibility is not based on income or resources, and no finding of medical necessity is required for the procedure

  • Creates the "Vasectomy Fund" in the state treasury to receive appropriations, gifts, grants, and other contributions, with unused funds carrying over between bienniums rather than reverting to general revenue

  • Requires all health carriers and health benefit plans delivered, issued, or renewed in Missouri on or after January 1, 2027, to provide vasectomy coverage without medical necessity requirements

  • Vasectomy coverage under health benefit plans cannot be subject to greater deductibles or co-payments than other health care services; exemptions apply to supplemental policies such as Medicare supplement, long-term care, and accident-only policies
