Bill > SB541

This bill, known as the PrEP for Pennsylvania Act, requires health insurance policies in Pennsylvania to provide coverage for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medication, which is used to prevent the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The bill defines key terms such as "health insurance policy" and "preexposure prophylaxis HIV medication," and mandates that insurance providers must cover the expenses of PrEP medication without moving it to a specialty tier solely for monetary gains. Additionally, the bill prohibits insurance policies from requiring counseling from an infectious disease specialist or immunologist to receive PrEP medication unless it is medically necessary.
