Coverage of intrauterine device removals requirement in medical assistance and MinnesotaCare

SF 3702 requires Minnesota's medical assistance (Medicaid) and MinnesotaCare programs to cover the removal of intrauterine devices (IUDs) as a standard benefit. This policy directly affects enrollees in these programs who need IUD removal services. The bill amends state law to add IUD removal to covered services under Minnesota Statutes 256B.0625, effective January 1, 2027, or after federal approval. Funding for this coverage is appropriated from the general fund and health care access fund for fiscal years 2027-2029. The change ensures no out-of-pocket costs for IUD removals under these public health programs.
