Idaho H0713 establishes cost-sharing requirements for health benefit plans, excluding certain prescription drugs.

Idaho H0713 amends existing law to establish cost-sharing requirements for health benefit plans. These requirements include copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, and annual limitations on cost-sharing for specific health care services. The bill excludes certain prescription drugs from these requirements if a medically appropriate generic equivalent is available and deemed appropriate by the patient's doctor. The Department of Insurance may create rules to implement these provisions, subject to legislative approval. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2026.
