California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara announced a proposed regulation to require health insurers to cover out-of-state abortion services. The proposed regulation aims to ensure that Californians have access to reproductive healthcare, particularly those who may face restrictions in other states. The proposed regulation, which is subject to a 45-day public comment period, would require health insurers to cover abortion services provided by out-of-state providers, as long as the services are medically necessary and in compliance with California law. This move comes in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the US Supreme Court in June 2022, which has led to increased restrictions on abortion services in various states. The proposed regulation also includes provisions to protect patients' confidentiality and ensure that out-of-state providers are held to the same standards as in-state providers. The California Department of Insurance will review public comments before finalizing the regulation.
