Bill overview
The Help Ensure Lower Patient Copays Act amends existing healthcare laws to broaden the definition of cost-sharing expenses, including copays, coinsurance, and deductibles, that count toward an individual’s out-of-pocket spending. Specifically, it expands how financial assistance from non-profit organizations and prescription drug manufacturers is considered when calculating these costs. The bill also makes changes to how the Affordable Care Act and the Public Health Service Act define these terms, and establishes a safe harbor for plans that include certain prescription drug assistance.
