Memorandum


House Bill 4183, if enacted, would increase access for contraceptives and sterilization procedures. House Bill 4183 would have no fiscal impact on the operations, expenses or revenues of the Offices of the Insurance Commissioner. It should be noted that HB4183 does not contain language limiting the insurance benefits provided under the proposed bill to the essential health benefits (EHB) specified under section 130(b) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). PPACA 1311 (d)(3) provides that a state must defray the cost by direct payment to enrollees or to the Plan of any state mandated benefit in excess of the EHB. To the extent that the health insurance benefits required by HB4183 do not fall within the EHB, a potential costs to the State exists. The OIC does not currently possess data in regard to the effect this legislation may have on commercial health insurance carrier premium rates if enacted. The OIC can request an actuarial review from commercial health insurance carriers and provide that information to a committee if requested.
