AI Summary
This bill requires health insurance policies in Pennsylvania to provide coverage for preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) HIV medication, which is a medication approved by the FDA to prevent the transmission of HIV. The bill prohibits insurance providers from moving PrEP medications into a specialty tier solely for monetary gains, and it also prohibits health plans from requiring counseling from an infectious disease specialist or immunologist to receive PrEP medication unless it is medically necessary. The bill will take effect 60 days after being signed into law.
