Coverage requirement of medical services and prescription medications for the treatment of dementia

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill requires health insurance plans to cover all types of medical services and FDA-approved prescription drugs for dementia treatment, including diagnostic tests. It also prohibits health plans from using "step therapy," which requires trying less expensive drugs first, for dementia care. Additionally, the bill modifies rules for prior authorization of certain drugs under medical assistance, ensuring step therapy requirements align with the new dementia coverage rules.
