State Requires Plans to Cover Certain Gender-Affirming Care Services

 

On January 20, 2023, the Division of Insurance issued a Consumer Advisory that announced that plans issued in the state must cover certain gender-affirming care services starting in 2023. Gender-affirming care services are also included as an essential health benefit (EHB) in the state’s benchmark plan. The division also prepared a PDF guide for this coverage.

Employers with plans governed by the state or with policies that adopted the state’s benchmark plan should be aware of this new area of required coverage.
