Assemblymember Akilah Weber, M.D. Announces Legislation to Protect Chronic and Terminally Ill Patients Who Rely on Patient Assistance Programs to Afford Prescription Medications

Sacramento – Today, Assemblymember Akilah Weber, M.D. (D-La Mesa) introduced legislation to protect patient access to prescription medications. AB 2180 would ensure that California health plans, insurers, and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) count the value of copay assistance that is paid by a patient assistant program on behalf of a chronically or terminally ill patient, toward that patient’s deductible and out-of-pocket maximum expenses.
