Michigan SB0978 repeals the requirement for insurers to cover emergency refills of prescription medication for up to a 30-day supply.
Michigan SB0978 amends the insurance code to repeal the requirement for health insurers to cover emergency refills of prescription medication for up to a 30-day supply. This change affects individuals insured under health plans that limit coverage to drugs included in a formulary. Insurers must still participate in formulary development, disclose formulary restrictions, and provide for exceptions when a nonformulary alternative is medically necessary. The bill repeals section 3406w of the insurance code, which previously mandated the coverage of emergency refills.
