Bill > S584

This bill aims to limit out-of-pocket health expenses for active and retired state employees, their dependents, and survivors of deceased employees. It amends existing laws to cap the maximum annual deductibles and copayments for covered services at $2,500 for individual coverage and $5,000 for family coverage. The bill also restricts public authorities from increasing cost-sharing plan design features beyond those offered by the state's Group Insurance Commission, ensuring consistency across non-Medicare and Medicare plans. Additionally, it directs any excess premium payments to be utilized to pay for out-of-pocket expenses exceeding the established limits or to improve insurance benefits for state employees and retirees.
