AN ACT RELATING TO INSURANCE -- INDIVIDUAL HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE--PRIOR AUTHORIZATIONS
SB 684, titled "AN ACT RELATING TO INSURANCE -- INDIVIDUAL HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE--PRIOR AUTHORIZATIONS," proposes to prohibit individual health insurance policies from requiring prior authorization for prescriptions of generic medication. This means that individuals covered by these plans would no longer need their insurer's approval before filling a generic drug prescription. The bill directly affects individuals with individual health insurance coverage and the health insurance carriers that offer these plans by amending existing general laws on individual health insurance.
