On October 22, 2022, Gov. Carney signed SB 316 into law. The new law prohibits group health plans from imposing a cost-sharing requirement greater than $35 per month per participant for diabetes equipment and supplies. This includes blood glucose meters and strips, urine testing strips, syringes, continuous glucose monitors and supplies, and insulin pump supplies. The $35 monthly maximum applies regardless of the amount or types of supplies and equipment prescribed. The limit applies once the participant’s deductible has been met.
The requirement is effective for policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2024. Employers should work with their insurer to make sure that the change is implemented and plan documents are updated.
