Title

Third Party Prescription Program Act, not applicable to Public Education Employees' Health Insurance Plan, Sec. 34-23-116 am'd.

Summary

HB784 would exempt the Public Education Employees' Health Insurance Plan from the Third Party Prescription Program Act.

What This Bill Does

The bill amends Section 34-23-116 to add the Public Education Employees' Health Insurance Plan to the list of exemptions from the Third Party Prescription Program Act. As a result, PEHP would not have to follow the Act's rule that prescription reimbursements must be at least the usual and customary rates. This exemption adds to existing protections for Medicaid and certain health-care corporations. The change takes effect immediately upon passage and approval.

Who It Affects

• Public Education Employees' Health Insurance Plan enrollees/members: their prescription reimbursements would no longer be governed by the Act's usual-and-customary rate protections.
• Pharmacies and program administrators that work with PEHP: their reimbursement rates and procedures with PEHP would not be bound by the Act.

Key Provisions

• Adds Public Education Employees' Health Insurance Plan to the exemptions in Section 34-23-116, so the Third Party Prescription Program Act does not apply to PEHP.
• Remains exempt from the Act for Medicaid and for any corporation organized under Title 10, Chapter 4, Article 6.
• Effective immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor.
