Relates to requiring insurance coverage for epinephrine auto-injectors
This bill requires most health insurance plans in the state to cover at least two epinephrine auto-injector devices annually for emergency treatment of life-threatening allergic reactions. It sets a strict $100 annual limit on out-of-pocket costs for these devices, meaning insured individuals cannot pay more than $100 regardless of their plan’s deductible or other cost-sharing requirements. The coverage applies to all qualifying health insurance plans (including those with high deductibles), though preventive care provisions remain unaffected by the deductible. This ensures affordable access to critical allergy treatment without requiring individuals to meet full plan deductibles.
