HB 3368 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to payments for vasectomies

HB 3368 requires health insurers in the state to cover vasectomies for all policyholders starting January 1, 2027, without requiring medical necessity or imposing higher deductibles/co-pays than other services. It also creates a state program through the Department of Social Services to cover vasectomies for uninsured male residents who lack employer or public insurance, with eligibility based solely on residency and lack of coverage (no income checks). The state will fund this program via a dedicated "Vasectomy Fund," which may receive federal or private contributions and cannot revert unused funds to general revenue. These provisions apply to all health benefit plans issued in the state after 2026, excluding certain supplemental policies like short-term or Medicare supplements.
