No More Copays for Chronic Condition Preventive Care

This act aims to eliminate additional fees (copays) for selected preventive care and screenings for individuals with chronic conditions. This means people with conditions like diabetes or heart disease will have easier access to important medical services, potentially preventing their conditions from worsening and avoiding more expensive treatments later.
Key points
Health insurers will not be able to charge extra fees for selected preventive services for individuals with chronic conditions.
The act covers conditions including heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, hypertension, asthma, liver disease, bleeding disorders, and depression.
The list of conditions and services will be updated every three years to reflect the latest medical knowledge.
The changes will take effect one year after the act's enactment, impacting health plans and insurance coverage.
