An Act relative to epinephrine injectors

Summary

The bill requires that a wide range of health insurance plans in Massachusetts—state employee plans, Medicaid‑managed care, private accident or sickness policies, group and hospital service plans, and health maintenance contracts—cover FDA‑approved epinephrine auto‑injectors and equivalent pre‑filled syringes at the appropriate weight‑based dose. These plans cannot impose higher deductibles, coinsurance, copays, or out‑of‑pocket limits on the injectors than on any other prescription drug. The goal is to make life‑saving allergy medication affordable and accessible for all insured residents.
