Pennsylvania House Advances Menopause Treatment Coverage Bill Package
Pennsylvania House committees have advanced seven bills addressing perimenopause and menopause care, including measures from Reps. Liz Hanbidge and Morgan Cephas that would expand Medicaid and private insurance coverage for hormonal and non-hormonal menopause therapy and pelvic floor therapy. Other bills in the package address provider education partnerships with the Department of Health and workplace accommodations for menopausal symptoms. Some Republicans opposed the measures over concerns about increased Medicaid costs. The bills are still moving through House committees, with no final floor votes or effective dates yet reported.
If enacted, the Medicaid coverage mandates would require Pennsylvania's Medicaid program and managed care plans to cover new hormonal and non-hormonal menopause therapies, adding a compliance and cost consideration state officials are already debating.
