HB 1547 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to payments for vasectomies

HB 1547 creates a state program covering full vasectomy costs for uninsured male residents who lack employer or public health insurance, regardless of income. It requires all health insurers in the state (effective 2026) to cover vasectomies without medical necessity requirements, deductibles, or co-pays. The program is funded through a dedicated "Vasectomy Fund" with annual state appropriations, and the state department of social services will administer eligibility and payments. Private health plans must provide this coverage starting January 1, 2026, but exclusions apply to certain supplemental insurance policies.
