Kahle testifies for bill to require health insurance to count medication coupons toward plan deductible
The Daily Telegram
LANSING A bill to help lower prescription costs by requiring health insurance to count drug coupons toward a patient’s out-of-pocket costs or plan deductible was given a hearing Thursday with the Michigan House Health Policy Committee, according to a news release Friday.
House Bill 4353, is part of a 15-bill health care plan introduced Feb. 24 and is sponsored by state Rep. Bronna Kahle, R-Adrian.
Drug manufacturers often issue coupons to help patients with their out-of-pocket costs, according to a news release from Kahle’s office, but many health plans and health benefit middlemen say that the coupons undercut their ability to manage costs and steer patients to make cost-effective choices and many health plans prohibit the value of the coupon from applying toward a patient’s deductible.
