(b) If covered for other prescription drugs under the health insurance policy, outpatient consultations, examinations, procedures, and medical services that are necessary to prescribe, dispense, deliver, distribute, administer, or remove a prescription contraceptive.
(c) A prescription contraceptive that the insured's prescriber determines is medically necessary for the insured.
(2) The coverage required under subsection (1) must provide coverage for the furnishing or dispensing of up to a 12-month supply of prescription contraceptives regardless of whether the insured was covered under the health insurance policy at the time the prescription contraceptive was first dispensed.
(3) Subject to subsection (4), coverage under subsection (1) may be subject to provisions of the health insurance policy that apply equally to other prescription drugs covered by the health insurance policy, including, but not limited to, required copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance.
(4) An insurer that delivers, issues for delivery, or renews in this state a health insurance policy described in subsection (1) shall not impose utilization controls or other forms of medical management that limit the supply or coverage of a prescription contraceptive that may be dispensed or furnished by a prescriber or pharmacy to an amount that is less than a 12-month supply unless clinical trials determine that a 12-month supply is medically inappropriate.
