Relating to financial assistance available for a prescription drug

Summary

The measure tells health insurers and pharmacy‑benefit managers to include any copay, coinsurance or deductible that a patient or a third party has already paid when calculating the patient’s share of costs. It also stops them from altering coverage because a prescription drug has financial or product assistance available. The change applies to all health plans issued in West Virginia and adds civil penalties for violations.
