AI Summary
This bill establishes certain guidelines for health insurance carriers concerning step therapy protocols. Step therapy protocols require patients to try one or more prescription drugs before coverage is provided for a drug selected by the patient's healthcare provider. The bill mandates that step therapy protocols be based on appropriate clinical practice guidelines or peer-reviewed data, and that carriers provide a fair and transparent process for patients to request an exception to a step therapy protocol. The bill also requires carriers to report annually to the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance on various metrics related to step therapy exception requests.
