An Act amending the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284), known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921, in quality health care accountability and protection, further providing for definitions and providing for utilization management for stage four, advanced metastatic cancer drugs; and making a repeal.
HB 2427 amends Pennsylvania's Insurance Company Law to regulate how insurers cover drugs for stage four, advanced metastatic cancer. The bill prohibits insurance policies from requiring patients to fail a different medication or prove a history of failure before approving coverage for a new drug, provided the drug is FDA-approved and aligns with current clinical best practices. This legislation also repeals the previous Fair Access to Cancer Treatment Law while ensuring that all existing rules, contracts, and decisions made under that law remain in effect.
