Summary

The PrEP Access and Coverage Act of 2026 amends existing health‑insurance statutes so that private plans, Medicare‑like federal employee plans, and Medicaid must cover FDA‑approved HIV‑prevention medications, related lab tests, and follow‑up care without patient cost‑sharing. It also bars most pre‑authorization requirements for these services. Congress notes that the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Treasury should work to ensure the new rules are followed.
