Montana requires prior approval for Medicaid-paid abortions

Associated Press  

— Montana physicians will have to provide prior documentation showing that an abortion is medically necessary before the state’s Medicaid program will authorize payment for the procedure, under a new rule that is set to take effect next week. However, all three of the state’s abortion providers filed a lawsuit in district court in Helena on Friday to challenge the rule they argue will “effectively eliminate abortion access for most Medicaid patients in the state.” The providers, along with the ACLU of Montana and the Center for Reproductive Rights, are asking for a temporary restraining order to block the rule arguing it violates the right to privacy and the right to equal protection under the Montana Constitution. Physician assistants can legally provide abortion care in Montana and the Montana Supreme Court heard arguments in December over whether nurse practitioners can provide abortion care if they are properly trained. “At Planned Parenthood of Montana, we have nurse practitioners and/or physician assistants in every single health center every day,” Martha Fuller, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Montana said in January.
