Year Introduced: 2021
Link: https://legis.la.gov/legis/BillInfo.aspx?i=240387

Provides relative to health insurance coverage modifications and unfair or deceptive practices. New law retains prior law but as to the notification requirement, modification of drug
coverage is allowed at any time as to a drug increasing over $300 per prescription or refill with an increase in the wholesale acquisition cost of at least 25% in the prior 365 days provided that 30-day notice of the modification of coverage is given. New law requires that the 30-day notice of modification of coverage include information on the issuer’s process for an enrollee’s physician to request an exception from the issuer’s modification of drug coverage for purposes of continuity of care of the patient.
