AI Summary
This bill aims to provide consumer protection from nonmedical changes to prescription drug formularies. It does this by prohibiting individual or group health insurance policies, as well as health maintenance organizations (HMOs), from removing a covered prescription drug from their list of covered drugs or reclassifying a drug to a more restrictive tier during the policy or contract year, unless certain conditions are met. The bill also exempts the state group insurance program from these requirements and requires small employer carriers to limit changes to prescription drug formularies. The bill was passed in the interests of the state of Florida and will take effect on January 1, 2018.
