Michigan SB0552 requires health insurers to cover nonopioid analgesic drugs for pain treatment.

Michigan SB0552 amends the insurance code to mandate that health insurers cover nonopioid analgesic drugs prescribed for pain treatment. Insurers must include these drugs on their preferred drug lists or plan formularies. Insurers cannot delay or block coverage of these drugs or deny access to them. The bill also prohibits insurers from disadvantaging these drugs relative to opioid analgesics.
