The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding health benefit plans offered by accountable health plans, specifically enhancing coverage for diabetes management. It would require these plans to provide continuous glucose monitors, including transmitters and sensors, for members or enrollees diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. This addition is marked as 11. For members or enrollees who are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes mellitus, a continuous glucose monitor, including transmitters and sensors. Furthermore, the bill makes technical and conforming changes to existing language, ensuring clarity and consistency in the statute. Additionally, the bill would modify existing provisions by deleting outdated language and updating the numbering of subsequent items. For instance, it would delete the current 11. and replace it with 12. for podiatric appliances, and 12. would be replaced with 13. for other devices or supplies required under Medicare. The bill also clarifies that it does not entitle members to non-medically necessary supplies and allows accountable health plans to impose cost-sharing measures for diabetes treatment supplies, as indicated by the changes in 1., 2., and 3..
