Advanced, metastatic cancer; delete repealer on prohibition against health plans requiring step therapy before covering certain drugs to treat.

This bill prohibits health insurance plans from requiring patients with advanced, metastatic cancer to try other medications first (step therapy) before covering FDA-approved treatments for their condition. It applies specifically to drugs that align with clinical guidelines and evidence-based medicine, directly affecting patients diagnosed with cancer that has spread and their healthcare providers. The law establishes a process for doctors to request immediate coverage overrides if step therapy delays care, requiring insurers to approve such requests based on medical evidence within 30 days (extendable by 7 days). It ensures faster access to critical treatments without unnecessary delays for patients with advanced cancer.
