The Skip Insurance Bill
Patients get a way to skip insurance step therapy
Creating a bypass mechanism for health insurer step therapy protocols when medically necessary.
Good for everyday people ·
The bill would let patients and doctors ask insurers to skip step‑therapy rules when a drug is needed, so they can get the right medicine faster.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Today insurers can force patients to try cheaper drugs first, which can delay effective treatment. This bill would create a clear, quick process for doctors and patients to request an override, helping them avoid harmful delays and giving doctors more say in choosing the right medicine.
