Bill Summary
An Act to create 632.868 of the statutes; Relating to: insulin safety net programs and providing a penalty. (FE)
AI Summary
This bill creates a new state statute, Section 632.868, which requires insulin manufacturers to establish two programs to help individuals in Wisconsin access affordable insulin. The first is an "urgent need safety net program" that provides a 30-day supply of insulin to eligible individuals who are in urgent need and meet certain criteria, such as not being on public assistance or having comprehensive prescription drug coverage. The second is a "patient assistance program" that provides a 90-day supply of insulin at no cost to eligible individuals with low incomes and no other prescription drug coverage options. The bill also outlines responsibilities for the state insurance commissioner, such as developing application forms and conducting public outreach, and imposes penalties on manufacturers that fail to comply with the new requirements.
