Bill > HB2083

This bill expands coverage requirements for health benefits plans offered by accountable health plans, which are organizations that manage healthcare services for a defined population. Specifically, it mandates that these plans must cover medically necessary equipment and supplies for diabetes treatment, as prescribed by a healthcare provider. The bill adds coverage for insulin pens, automatic lancing devices, oral and self-injectable medications for blood glucose control that are on the plan's formulary, and crucially, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and related equipment like transmitters and sensors, as well as insulin pumps and automated insulin delivery systems. It also clarifies that coverage for these items is subject to medical necessity determined by the plan's medical director and does not require coverage for items obtained without a prescription, nor does it prevent the plan from applying deductibles, coinsurance, or other cost-sharing measures.
