Bill overview
This bill, the PrEP Access and Coverage Act of 2026, aims to increase access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce the spread of HIV. It mandates that private insurance plans, Medicare, Medicaid, the Veterans Affairs healthcare system, and the Department of Defense must cover PrEP without cost-sharing, including related services like lab tests and clinical monitoring. The bill also prohibits preauthorization requirements for PrEP drugs and seeks to eliminate discrimination in life, disability, and long-term care insurance based on PrEP use. Finally, it establishes a public education campaign to raise awareness about PrEP and PEP.
