Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
health and human services
Medical Assistance
Under current law, the Medical Assistance (MA) program provides family planning as a benefit to its recipients. DHS is required to implement any waiver it receives from the federal secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to provide family planning services under MA to women between the ages of 15 and 44 whose family income is not more than 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Currently, DHS may request a waiver to conduct and may implement a project to provide family planning services under MA to men between the ages of 15 and 44 whose family income is not more than 200 percent of the federal poverty level. This bill eliminates the ability on January 1, 2012, for DHS to request a waiver to conduct or to implement a project providing family planning services under MA to men.
