What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires health insurance policies that offer prescription drug

benefits, self-insured health plans, and pharmacy benefit managers acting on behalf

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

as disability insurance policies.
