This bill mandates that health plan companies in Minnesota disclose whether funds from a patient assistance program are applied to an enrollee's health plan deductible. Specifically, it requires that this information be included in the summary of benefits and coverage provided to enrollees. The definition of a patient assistance program is referenced from an existing statute, ensuring clarity on what constitutes such a program.
The new legal language introduced in this bill is codified as section 62Q.671, which outlines the disclosure requirement. Additionally, the bill specifies that this requirement will take effect on January 1, 2026, and will apply to all health plans that are offered, issued, or renewed on or after that date.
