Summary

This bill amends Ohio health insurance law to require coverage of epinephrine and glucagon for individuals age 18 and younger. The bill requires health benefit plans to cover epinephrine, which is used to treat severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. It also requires both health plans and Ohio Medicaid to cover glucagon, which is used to treat severe low blood sugar in individuals with diabetes. The bill caps cost-sharing for both epinephrine and glucagon in any form, limiting the out-of-pocket expenses for these emergency medications. The coverage requirements ensure that young people have access to these emergency medications without prohibitive cost barriers.
