AI Summary
This bill amends existing laws concerning drug coverage provided by various types of health insurance plans, including accident and sickness insurance policies, nonprofit hospital service corporations, nonprofit medical service corporations, and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). The key provision is that any group health plan or HMO that offers prescription drug coverage must now provide at least two different options for how individuals can receive their prescription drugs, and importantly, these plans are prohibited from forcing people to use a mail-order pharmacy to get their benefits. This change aims to give consumers more choices in how they obtain their medications.
