the people of the state of michigan enact:
Sec. 3406z. (1) Subject to section 4 of the health care false claim act, 1984 PA 323, MCL 752.1004, a health insurance policy that is not a high deductible health plan that is delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed in this state that provides coverage for prescription drugs must include any amount paid by the enrollee or paid on behalf of the enrollee by another person when calculating the insured's overall contribution to any out-of-pocket maximum or any cost-sharing requirement.
(2) Subject to section 4 of the health care false claim act, 1984 PA 323, MCL 752.1004, a health insurance policy that is a high deductible health plan that is delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed in this state that provides coverage for prescription drugs must include any amount paid by the enrollee or paid on behalf of the enrollee by another person when calculating the insured's overall contribution to any out-of-pocket maximum or any cost-sharing requirement. However, if the application of payment by the enrollee or on behalf of the enrollee would cause the enrollee's health savings account to be considered ineligible under section 223 of the internal revenue code of 1986, 26 USC 223, the health insurance policy must apply the payment after the minimum deductible under section 223(c)(2)(A) of the internal revenue code of 1986, 26 USC 223, has been satisfied. The health insurance plan must apply the payment described in this subsection for payment of preventive care described in section 223(c)(2)(C) of the internal revenue code of 1986, 26 USC 223, regardless of whether the minimum deductible under section 223(c)(2)(C) of the internal revenue code of 1986, 26 USC 223, has been satisfied.
(3) This section applies to a health insurance policy delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed in this state after December 31, 2023.
(4) If any provision of this section conflicts with a federal law, the federal law prevails.
(5) As used in this section:
(a) "Cost-sharing requirement" means any copayment, coinsurance, deductible, or annual limitation on cost sharing, including, but not limited to, a limitation subject to 42 USC 18022(c) and 300gg-6(b), required by or on behalf of an insured in order to receive a specific health care service, including a prescription drug, covered by a health insurance policy.
(b) "Health savings account" means that term as defined in section 223 of the internal revenue code of 1986, 26 USC 223.
(c) "High deductible health plan" means that term as defined in section 223 of the internal revenue code of 1986, 26 USC 223.
(d) "Prescription drug" means that term as defined in section 17708 of the public health code, 1978 PA 368, MCL 333.17708. However, prescription drug does not include a drug with an AB-rated generic equivalent unless the insured obtains access to the drug through any of the following:
(i) Prior authorization.
(ii) A step therapy protocol.
(iii) The insurer's exception process.
