Coverage of intrauterine device removals in medical assistance and MinnesotaCare required, and money appropriated.

This bill requires Minnesota's medical assistance and MinnesotaCare programs to cover the removal of intrauterine devices. It amends state statutes to mandate this coverage and directs the commissioner of human services to implement the change. The legislation also appropriates funding from the general fund and health care access fund to support these costs in fiscal years 2027 through 2029. Coverage becomes effective on January 1, 2027, or later if federal approval is required. The bill affects individuals enrolled in these health programs who need IUD removal services.
