Bill Summary
CONCERNING MEASURES TO INCREASE ACCESS TO PRESCRIPTION INSULIN FOR PERSONS WITH DIABETES.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase access to affordable prescription insulin for individuals with diabetes in Colorado. The key provisions include:
1. Capping the total amount a person can be required to pay for all covered prescription insulin drugs at $100 per 30-day supply, regardless of the amount or type of insulin needed.
2. Establishing the Insulin Affordability Program to provide low-cost insulin to eligible Colorado residents who do not qualify for Medicaid or Medicare and do not have prescription drug coverage that already limits their insulin costs to $100 per 30-day supply.
3. Creating an emergency 30-day insulin supply program for eligible Colorado residents who have less than a 7-day supply of insulin and are required to pay more than $100 out-of-pocket per month for their insulin.
4. Requiring insulin manufacturers to establish procedures to make insulin available through these programs and reimbursing pharmacies for the difference between the wholesale acquisition cost and the amount paid by eligible individuals.
The bill aims to make insulin more affordable and accessible for Coloradans with diabetes who may be struggling to pay for this essential medication.
