Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill amends Michigan's insurance code to change how health insurance companies handle prescription drug coverage, specifically for drugs not on their approved list (formulary). It requires insurers to make quicker decisions on requests for non-formulary drugs, especially in urgent situations, and repeals a related section of the code. These changes affect health insurance companies, doctors, and people with health insurance that covers prescription drugs.
