Summary

Reinserts the provisions of House Amendment No. 1, but with the following changes: Further amends the Illinois Insurance Code. In a provision concerning contracts between health insurers and pharmacy benefit managers, provides that such contracts must require pharmacy benefit managers to: (1) update maximum allowable cost pricing information at least every 7 calendar days; (2) provide access to its maximum allowable cost list to each pharmacy or pharmacy services administrative organization, as defined, subject to the maximum allowable cost list; (4) provide a process by which a contracted pharmacy can appeal the provider's reimbursement for a drug subject to maximum allowable cost pricing; and other matters. Regarding a drug on the maximum allowable cost list, requires pharmacy benefits managers to ensure that: (i) if a drug is a generically equivalent drug, it is listed as therapeutically equivalent and pharmaceutically equivalent to certain rating standards; (ii) the drug is available for purchase by each pharmacy in the State from national or regional wholesalers operating in Illinois; and (ii) the drug is not obsolete (rather than requiring a drug to have at least 3 or more nationally available, therapeutically equivalent, multiple source generic drugs with a significant cost difference and be available for purchase without limitations by all pharmacies in the State from national or regional wholesalers). Permits the Director of Insurance to examine a pharmacy benefit manager's designee, representative, or other specified persons (rather than any individual) about the business of the pharmacy benefit manager. Contains provisions concerning the denial of a pharmacy benefits manager's registration application or the suspension or revocation of a pharmacy benefits manager's registration. Defines terms.
