An Act amending the act of June 13, 1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Human Services Code, in public assistance, providing for medical assistance coverage for menopause treatments.

HB 1345 would expand Pennsylvania's medical assistance program to cover FDA-approved treatments for menopause symptoms, including hormonal and non-hormonal drugs, devices, and behavioral therapy, for eligible low-income residents. The bill specifically requires coverage for all defined menopausal symptoms - such as hot flashes, bone density loss, and sleep disturbances - as well as treatments for menopause following a hysterectomy. It mandates that the state seek federal approval via a plan amendment or waiver to implement these changes. This policy directly affects enrolled medical assistance recipients experiencing menopausal symptoms, ensuring they receive covered care without additional out-of-pocket costs.
