Patient assistance program application of funds to a deductible disclosure requirement provision

SF 3604 requires health insurance plans in Minnesota to disclose in their summary of benefits whether funds from a patient assistance program (like drug cost help) were used to cover an enrollee's deductible. This affects health plan companies and their members, as they must add a clear statement to benefit summaries starting January 1, 2026. The bill mandates this transparency to help patients understand how aid impacts their out-of-pocket costs. It applies to all health plans offered, issued, or renewed on or after the effective date.
