Relates to requiring insurance coverage for epinephrine auto-injectors
This bill requires health insurance plans in the state to cover up to two epinephrine auto-injectors annually for treating life-threatening allergic reactions. It directly affects individuals with health insurance who need these emergency devices, ensuring they are not burdened with high costs. The law mandates that the total out-of-pocket expense for these devices be capped at $100 per year, regardless of deductibles or copayments. Insurance companies must include this coverage in major medical and comprehensive policies, with specific rules for high-deductible plans to maintain eligibility for health savings accounts. The changes will take effect on January 1, 2026, applying to all policies issued or renewed on or after that date.
