HB 151 -- Health Insurance

Sponsor:  Troupe

This bill prohibits health insurance entities from using
diabetes as a factor in determining an enrollee's premium.
Entities must also provide coverage for medications required for
the management and treatment of diabetes.  Diabetes medication
cannot be considered in determining any maximum prescription
benefit amount.  Entities cannot raise co-payments, coinsurance,
or deductibles to cover any increased costs created by the bill.
