AI Summary
This bill requires certain health carriers and pharmacy benefits managers in Connecticut to give credit for payments made by third parties when calculating an insured's or enrollee's cost-sharing liability for a covered benefit, such as coinsurance, copayments, or deductibles. This applies to individual and group health insurance policies, managed care plans, and the administration of pharmacy benefits. The bill aims to prohibit the use of "copay accumulator programs" that prevent third-party payments from counting towards a patient's cost-sharing obligations.
