Health benefit plan; prohibit the terms of being based on certain information.

HB 1607 would have prohibited pharmacy benefit managers, insurers, and third-party administrators from basing health plan terms (like coverage or costs) on whether a patient has access to financial assistance for prescription drugs. It directly affects patients who rely on drug discounts or copay programs, as insurers could no longer use that information to deny coverage or change plan benefits. The bill’s key provision, if enacted, would have required these entities to set plan terms without considering available financial aid for medications. However, the bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
