CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION
Assembly Bill
No. 1608
| Introduced by Assembly Member Joe Patterson |
February 17, 2023 |
An act to amend Section 1367.20 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to health care coverage.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1608, as introduced, Joe Patterson.
Health care service plans: drug formularies.
Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care. Existing law requires a health care service plan that provides prescription drug benefits and maintains one or more drug formularies to provide to members of the public, upon request, a copy of the most current list of prescription drugs on the formulary of the plan by major therapeutic category, as specified.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to those provisions.
