AI Summary
This bill aims to address the high cost of prescription insulin for Illinoisans with diabetes. The key provisions are:
1. It limits the total amount an insured individual must pay for a 30-day supply of a covered prescription insulin drug to $100, regardless of the quantity or type of insulin used. This cost-sharing limit can be increased annually based on the medical care component of the Consumer Price Index.
2. It requires the Illinois Department of Insurance, in conjunction with the Departments of Human Services and Healthcare and Family Services, to publish a report by November 1, 2020 detailing insulin pricing practices, variables contributing to plan pricing, and policy recommendations to control and prevent overpricing of insulin.
3. It amends various state laws to require health insurance plans, including those provided by the state, counties, municipalities, and school districts, to cover the new $100 cost-sharing limit for prescription insulin drugs.
The goal is to make insulin more affordable and accessible for the approximately 1.3 million adults in Illinois who have diabetes.
