Last week, Gov. Tom Wolf (D) signed legislation requiring commercial insurers to cover medication synchronization programs for patients on maintenance medications. HB 195 (Act No. 46), sponsored by Rep. Eric Nelson (R), passed both chambers unanimously prior to approval by the Governor. Specifically, the law requires insurers to allow coverage for partial fills, prorate patient copays and pay a full dispensing fee. It will be effective Thursday, July 2, 2020.
