Bill > H1099

This bill aims to help patients and reduce healthcare costs by ensuring patient adherence to medications. It requires individual or group health insurance policies providing prescription drug coverage to allow pro-rated daily cost-sharing rates for partial medication supplies if the prescriber or pharmacist determines it is in the patient's best interest and the patient requests or agrees to a partial supply for the purpose of synchronizing their medications. The bill also prohibits the denial of coverage for partially dispensed medications and the use of pro-rated dispensing fees, ensuring pharmacies are paid in full for each prescription dispensed, regardless of any pro-rated copay or fee for alignment services.
