Senate: Committee recommended ought to pass and referred to the committee on Senate Ways and Means
Summary
The bill adds new sections to Massachusetts law that require state‑run health plans to cover FDA‑approved HIV pre‑exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) without co‑pays, deductibles, prior authorization, or other delays. It also obligates state and county prisons to counsel, evaluate, and provide a supply of PrEP to eligible inmates before they leave custody, at no cost. The goal is to remove financial and procedural barriers that limit access to HIV prevention medication.
