After January 1, 2027, a health carrier or health benefit plan cannot require an enrollee who has received a prescription from his or her doctor for a particular drug covered by the health benefit plan to take a different drug deemed more appropriate for the enrollee's condition by the health carrier or health benefit plan in order to receive coverage unless the enrollee's health care provider gives written approval for the change in drugs and the change is in the interest of the enrollee's health.
This bill is similar to HB 877 (2025) and HB 1682 (2024).
