AI Summary

  • Requires health carriers to reduce enrollees' cost-sharing (deductibles and coinsurance) for prescription drugs by 100 percent of all rebates received or to be received from manufacturers, dispensing pharmacies, or other parties at the point of sale.

  • Defines "rebate" to include negotiated price concessions, base price concessions, price protection rebates, performance-based price concessions, and reasonable estimates of negotiated prices and administrative costs that reduce the health carrier's liabilities.

  • Permits health carriers to decrease cost-sharing by amounts greater than the 100 percent rebate reduction required by the bill.

  • Protects rebate information as trade secrets and prohibits health carriers and their agents from disclosing rebate amounts on a product, therapeutic class, manufacturer-specific, or pharmacy-specific basis.

  • Makes health carriers and pharmacy benefit managers subject to civil penalties and potential suspension or revocation of license for noncompliance with these requirements.
