Massachusetts H4951 aims to eliminate barriers to HIV prevention medication by ensuring comprehensive coverage and access.

Massachusetts H4951 seeks to address barriers to HIV prevention medication by mandating that health insurance plans, including those issued by the Group Insurance Commission, provide coverage for HIV prevention drugs without cost-sharing or restrictive protocols. It also prohibits plans from denying prescriptions based on the type of health care practitioner or practice setting, as long as the practitioner is licensed. The bill extends these requirements to health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, and carriers.
