OFA Fiscal Note
See Fiscal Note Details
The amendment strikes the underlying bill and its associated fiscal
impact.
The amendment prohibits the use of step therapy for treatment of
additional conditions and diseases, which does not result in a fiscal
impact to the state employee and retiree health plan or municipalities
that participate in the Partnership Plan, as step therapy is not required
by the plans.
The amendment results in a cost for certain fully insured municipal
plans that currently require step therapy for conditions specified in the
amendment, to the extent it results in higher prescription drug costs that
are passed on in the form of higher premiums. Costs to fully insured
municipalities will be reflected in premiums for plan years beginning
on or after January 1, 2023.
