| 1 | AN ACT concerning regulation.
| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||

| ||||||

| 5 | is amended by adding Section 45.3 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (215 ILCS 134/45.3 new) | ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 45.3. Prescription drug benefits; plan choice. | ||||||
| 8 | (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, on or after | ||||||
| 9 | January 1, 2020, every health insurance carrier that provides | ||||||
| 10 | coverage for prescription drugs shall ensure that no fewer than | ||||||
| 11 | 25% of individual and group plans offered within each service | ||||||
| 12 | area and at each level of coverage as defined in 42 U.S.C. | ||||||
| 13 | 18022, if applicable, that are delivered, issued for delivery, | ||||||
| 14 | renewed, amended, or continued by the health insurance carrier | ||||||
| 15 | shall apply a pre-deductible, flat-dollar copayment structure | ||||||
| 16 | to the entire drug benefit, including all tiers. A health | ||||||
| 17 | insurance carrier shall not apply the deductible or any | ||||||
| 18 | coinsurance amount to the entire drug benefit for these plans. | ||||||
| 19 | The flat-dollar copayment structure for prescription drugs | ||||||
| 20 | under this subsection (a) must be reasonably graduated and | ||||||
| 21 | proportionately related in all tier levels such that the | ||||||
| 22 | copayment structure as a whole does not discriminate against or | ||||||
| 23 | discourage the enrollment of individuals with significant | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | health care needs. | ||||||
| 2 | (b) A health insurance carrier shall clearly and | ||||||
| 3 | appropriately name all plans described in subsection (a) to aid | ||||||
| 4 | in the consumer or plan-sponsor plan selection process. | ||||||
| 5 | (c) A health insurance carrier shall market plans described | ||||||
| 6 | in subsection (a) in the same manner as plans not described in | ||||||
| 7 | subsection (a). With respect to group health plans, a health | ||||||
| 8 | insurance carrier shall ensure that each group or plan sponsor | ||||||
| 9 | has the option to purchase a plan described in subsection (a). | ||||||
| 10 | (d) If a health insurance carrier offers fewer than 4 plans | ||||||
| 11 | in a service area, or in a service area and level of coverage, | ||||||
| 12 | if applicable, the health insurance carrier shall ensure that | ||||||
| 13 | one plan shall use the drug benefit structure, including | ||||||
| 14 | cost-sharing requirements, set forth in subsection (a). | ||||||
| 15 | (e) The Department shall adopt rules necessary to implement | ||||||
| 16 | and enforce the provisions of this Section.
| ||||||
| 17 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect January | ||||||
