Provides coverage for remotely connected insulin pens for certain patients with diabetes
This bill adds coverage for remotely connected insulin pens under New York's medical assistance pharmacy benefit. It covers eligible patients with diabetes aged seven or older (with adult supervision for younger patients) using these devices with prescribed insulin cartridges. The cost of this coverage, including administration, must be included in managed care organization premiums. This ensures patients can access these devices without additional out-of-pocket costs through their existing pharmacy benefit.
