What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires health insurance policies that offer prescription drug

of policies or plans to apply amounts paid by or on behalf of a person covered under
the policy or plan for prescription drugs to any calculation of an out-of-pocket
maximum amount or to any cost-sharing requirement of the policy or plan. This
requirement applies regardless of whether a claim is submitted to the policy or plan
to pay for the prescription drug. Health insurance policies are referred to in the bill
