This bill proposes updates to section 20-2325 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning accountable health plans, specifically enhancing coverage for diabetes management. The bill introduces a new requirement for coverage of continuous glucose monitors, including transmitters and sensors, for members diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Additionally, it modifies the numbering of subsequent provisions, ensuring that the new insertion is appropriately integrated into the existing framework.

Furthermore, the bill makes several grammatical and structural changes to the language of current law. It clarifies that the provisions do not entitle members to non-medically necessary equipment or supplies as determined by the accountable health plan's medical director. It also specifies that coverage for diabetic supplies obtained without a prescription is not guaranteed unless allowed by the health benefits plan. Lastly, it prohibits accountable health plans from imposing deductibles, coinsurance, or other cost-sharing measures for diabetes treatment supplies, thereby enhancing access to necessary medical resources for individuals managing diabetes.
