Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) has signed legislation stopping insurers or their pharmacy benefit managers from requiring or pressuring in-network providers to obtain physician-administered drugs exclusively from pharmacies in the insurer’s network.
SB 191, which took effect June 1, also bars insurers or PBMs from requiring beneficiaries to pay a fee or any other increased cost-sharing amount to obtain a physician-administered drug when provided by a participating provider. The bill also limits payers and PBMs’ ability to restrict patient choice over where to receive physician-administered drugs.
