For too long, menopause and perimenopause have not been recognized as legitimate health concerns by many facets of our healthcare system. Senate Bill 319, sponsored by Senator Nicole Poore, places women’s health and wellness at the forefront by removing unnecessary barriers for women seeking care.
Preventative treatments, hormonal and non-hormonal therapy, diagnostic testing, behavioral health care services, physical therapy, and more are now required to be covered by health insurance carriers under SB 319.
This legislation brings Delaware into alignment with Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey’s coverage laws for menopause care.
