Require health plans, Medicaid to cover epinephrine and glucagon

Summary

The bill mandates that any health benefit plan issued after its effective date, as well as Ohio’s Medicaid program, must cover medically necessary epinephrine and glucagon for anyone 18 years old or younger. It also limits any cost‑sharing—such as copays, coinsurance, or deductibles—to $60 per package of two autoinjectors or an equivalent dose, and it prevents plans from charging more than that amount. The measure aims to make these life‑saving allergy and diabetes medicines affordable for children and teens.
