METHODOLOGY:
This bill removes the January 1, 2021 sunset provision for insurance coverage for oral anti-cancer therapies. The Insurance Department indicates the bill would maintain the requirement that benefits for oral anti-cancer medicine not be subject to higher cost sharing requirements based on how it is administered. The Department assumes this requirement, when compared to no such requirement, may place inflationary pressure on claims and impact plan designs. This may impact premium rates and premium tax revenue collected by the State.
