INSULIN Act of 2026
Refreshed 1 h ago
Introduced 2026-09-02Topic: health careSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorStarting with plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2028, this bill would require private group and individual health plans to cover at least one of each form and type of insulin with no deductible and with cost-sharing capped at $35 per 30-day supply or 25 percent of the net negotiated price, whichever is less. Plans could not require prior authorization for these insulin products except for safety reasons, quantity limits, or as specified by federal health officials. Catastrophic plans would also have to cover these insulin products before the yearly deductible is met. The bill would fund a federal grant of $2 million per year from 2027 through 2032 for a resource center, website, and 24/7 hotline to help uninsured people find insulin assistance programs, and would order a federal study of uninsured insulin users. It would also let the FDA speed up review of biosimilar drugs when there are fewer than 3 competing versions of a biological product.
