Bill > H2907

This bill modifies Section 6 of Chapter 32A of the Massachusetts General Laws to establish a cap on out-of-pocket pharmaceutical expenses for active and retired public employees, as well as their dependents and survivors, including those from municipal government. Specifically, the bill limits the maximum deductibles and copayments for pharmaceutical services in non-Medicare health insurance plans to $2,000 for individual coverage and $4,000 for family coverage during a single enrollment year. This provision aims to provide financial protection for public service workers and their families by preventing excessive healthcare costs, ensuring that employees and retirees are not burdened with high pharmaceutical expenses. The bill applies to group insurance plans for public sector employees across the state, potentially offering significant financial relief for those covered by such plans.
