relative to insurance coverage for glucose monitoring.
This bill requires health insurance providers in New Hampshire to cover glucose monitoring devices and supplies for individuals with Type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes. It mandates coverage for both traditional blood glucose monitors and continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) without requiring prior authorization, endocrinology referrals, or deductibles. Insurers must cover these devices as part of diabetes treatment, with follow-up care required at least once every 6 months for the first 18 months and then once annually. The bill also caps insulin copayments at $30 for a 30-day supply, applying to both new prescriptions and refills. This affects all health insurance plans providing medical or hospital expense coverage in the state.
