Summary

The bill adds new sections to California’s Health and Safety Code and Insurance Code requiring non‑grandfathered health plans and insurers to include any allowed direct support from prescription‑drug manufacturers when calculating a member’s cost‑sharing and out‑of‑pocket maximums. It applies to most standard plans but excludes grandfathered, Medicare supplement, and certain specialty policies. Violations can be penalized up to $5,000, or $10,000 for willful breaches, by the Insurance Commissioner.
