LB971

Nebraska LB971 mandates insurance coverage for rescue and maintenance asthma inhalers without cost-sharing.

Nebraska LB971 requires insurance policies and self-funded employee benefit plans to cover rescue and maintenance asthma inhalers prescribed by a licensed health care practitioner. The bill specifies that such coverage should not be subject to deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, or other cost-sharing arrangements, except in the case of high deductible health plans where the requirement may be subject to the plan's annual deductible if it affects eligibility for a health savings account.
