Pennsylvania HB719 prohibits insurers from discriminating against applicants and enrollees based on PrEP or PEP prescriptions.
Pennsylvania HB719, known as the Prohibiting Insurance Discrimination for Persons on PrEP and PEP Act, aims to prevent insurers from taking adverse actions against applicants or enrollees based on their use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) medications. These actions include denying coverage, limiting coverage, or charging different rates. The act defines "adverse action" and specifies that insurers cannot discriminate based on PrEP or PEP claims. Violations will be treated as unfair discrimination and unfair practices under existing insurance laws.
