HB1941

Creates provisions relating to cost-sharing under health benefit plans

Introduced·1/7/26

Missouri HB1941 establishes cost-sharing rules for health benefit plans, prohibiting variations based on cost-sharing assistance programs.

Missouri HB1941 amends Chapter 376 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section that sets forth provisions for cost-sharing under health benefit plans. The bill defines "cost-sharing" to include co-payments, coinsurance, deductibles, and other charges for health care services. It mandates that health carriers and pharmacy benefits managers cannot vary an enrollee's out-of-pocket maximum or cost-sharing requirements based on the availability of cost-sharing assistance programs.
