Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires health insurance policies and self-insured governmental health plans to cover home test kits for sexually transmitted diseases, including any laboratory costs for processing the kits. Under the bill, a home test kit must be a test recommended by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines or the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and must have been given a waiver of a specific federal law, been approved or cleared by the federal Food and Drug Administration, or been developed by a laboratory in accordance with established regulations and quality standards. The policies and plans are required to cover the home test kit if the use of the kit is determined to be medically necessary or appropriate and the kit is ordered by a health care provider or furnished through a standing order. Health insurance policies are referred to in the statutes as disability insurance policies.
This proposal may contain a health insurance mandate requiring a social and financial impact report under s. 601.423, stats.
