Cost shift

Draft summary, still being checked against the official bill text. Read the source to confirm.

This bill would limit how much you pay for diabetes supplies to 25 dollars a month and ban insurance companies from charging a deductible for long-lasting equipment.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

Managing diabetes is incredibly expensive, and the cost of supplies can force people to make impossible choices. This bill would step in to protect patients by forcing insurance companies to pick up more of the tab. If it passes the House, it will bring real financial relief to Rhode Islanders who rely on insulin and glucose monitors to stay alive.
