AI Summary
This bill aims to limit cost-sharing for prescription drugs and related medical supplies used to treat chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma, and allergies requiring epinephrine auto-injectors. The bill caps the monthly cost-sharing for these items at $25 per one-month supply of a prescription drug and $50 per month for all related medical supplies, regardless of the number of chronic diseases being treated. The cost-sharing limits do not apply to deductibles, and the bill includes provisions to ensure compliance with federal regulations for health savings accounts and catastrophic health plans. The bill also amends existing laws to incorporate these cost-sharing limits for the Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare programs.
