An Act to help patients and reduce healthcare costs by ensuring patient adherence to medications

This bill requires health insurance plans in Massachusetts to allow patients to receive partial refills of their prescriptions to synchronize their medication schedules. It mandates that insurers apply a daily cost-sharing rate for these partial fills and prohibits denying coverage or charging extra dispensing fees based on the reduced quantity. The legislation also prevents insurers from using denial codes that block early refills when a doctor or pharmacist determines that aligning medication pickups is in the patient's best interest.
