HR 1488 United States House · 118th Congress

Affordable Insulin Now Act

The Affordable Insulin Now Act (HR 1488) requires health insurance plans and issuers to cover specific insulin products with cost-sharing capped at $35 per 30-day supply or 25% of the negotiated price, whichever is lower, starting in 2024. It directly affects people with diabetes who rely on insulin by limiting out-of-pocket costs for covered products. The bill mandates coverage of all insulin types (rapid-acting, long-acting, etc.) and dosage forms (vials, pumps, etc.) as selected by the plan. This applies to both group and individual health insurance plans under the Public Health Service Act, Internal Revenue Code, and ERISA, with cost-sharing counting toward annual deductibles.
