Bill overview
This bill aims to protect West Virginia patients’ access to medications administered by their doctors. It prohibits health insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers from refusing to cover or pay for these medications simply because the pharmacy providing them isn’t part of their network. The bill also prevents insurers from imposing extra fees on patients to obtain these medications from a participating provider and ensures that medical necessity criteria are applied fairly, regardless of the pharmacy’s location.
