Summary
The measure changes Michigan’s insurance code so health plans must let doctors, dentists and pharmacists help create drug formularies and must tell patients about any restrictions. It also requires insurers to decide within 24 hours on urgent requests for non‑formulary medicines and within 72 hours on other requests. Finally, it eliminates section 3406w of the code.
