Confirmation of Hormonal Therapy for Menopause per Public Act 103-0703 |
This notice confirms the Department of Healthcare and Family Services’ (HFS) coverage for hormonal therapy to treat menopause that has been induced by a hysterectomy. This coverage is required under Public Act 103-0703 and applies to the Medicaid fee-for-service program and the managed care organizations (MCOs).
Compliance with the Act is required by January 1, 2026; however, HFS already covers hormonal therapy in this circumstance, and no additional coverage changes are needed.
Questions regarding this notice may be directed to the Bureau of Professional and Ancillary Services at 877-782-5565, or the applicable MCO.
