We strongly support NJ Assembly Bill 5217 which ensures that health insurers accept and count payments made on behalf of patients toward their deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. We respectfully urge Gov. Phil Murphy to sign Assembly Bill 5217 into law.
We strongly support NJ Senate Bill 3818/Assembly Bill 5217 which ensures that health insurers accept and count payments made on behalf of patients toward their deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums.

HIV+Hep filed an amicus brief in support of Iowa’s PBM reform law that requires copay assistance to count for Rx’s not only in ACA plans but for the first time, employer plans. PBMs contend it is unlawful under ERISA. In our brief we explain to the US 8th Circuit Court of Appeals why it is not.
While we share your commitment to addressing the high cost of prescription drugs, we strongly oppose A8136, legislation that would explicitly authorize the use of copay maximizer programs in New York’s health insurance market.
