376.1180. 1. Each entity offering individual and group health insurance policies providing coverage on an
expense-incurred basis, individual and group service or indemnity type contracts issued by a health services
corporation, individual and group service contracts issued by a health maintenance organization, all self-insured
group arrangements to the extent not preempted by federal law and all managed health care delivery entities of any
type or description, that are delivered, issued for delivery, continued or renewed in this state on or after January 1,
2003, shall offer contraceptive coverage to enrollees either at no charge or on a formulary.
