1. Definition. As used in this section, "insulin" has the same meaning as in Title 32, section

2. Limit on out-of-pocket costs. A carrier that provides coverage for prescription insulin drugs
may not impose any deductible, copayment, coinsurance or other cost-sharing requirement on an
enrollee for that coverage that results in out-of-pocket costs to the enrollee that exceed $35 per
prescription for a 30-day supply of covered prescription insulin drugs, regardless of the amount of
insulin needed to fill the enrollee's insulin prescriptions.

3. Other cost sharing. This section does not prevent a carrier from setting an enrollee's cost-
sharing requirement for one or more insulin drugs at an amount lower than the maximum amount
specified in this section.
[PL 2019, c. 666, Pt. A, §1 (NEW); PL 2019, c. 666, Pt. A, §2 (AFF).]

with applicable federal requirements. Rules adopted pursuant to this section are routine technical rules
as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A.
