Coverage for Epinephrine Autoinjectors

On June 15, 2021, Gov. Carney signed HB 95 into law. The new law applies to policies issued or renewed after December 31, 2021. Such policies must provide coverage for medically necessary epinephrine autoinjectors for participants who are 18 years of age or under by including at least one formulation of epinephrine autoinjectors on the lowest tier of the drug formulary developed and maintained by the carrier. Epinephrine autoinjector means a single-use device used for the automatic injection of a premeasured dose of epinephrine into the human body.

Employers should understand the new coverage and work with carriers to revise and distribute the certificate of coverage to covered employees.
