Bill information
Summary
To amend the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to require a group health plan (or health insurance coverage offered in connection with such a plan) to provide for cost-sharing for oral anticancer drugs on terms no less favorable than the cost-sharing provided for anticancer medications administered by a health care provider.
Plain-language summary
The Cancer Drug Parity Act of 2023 would require group health plans and health insurance to charge patients the same cost-sharing amounts for cancer drugs taken as pills at home as for cancer drugs given by doctors in clinics. Cost-sharing means the money patients must pay out-of-pocket, such as copays or deductibles. Currently, insurance plans often charge patients more for oral cancer drugs than for injectable ones. The bill amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, which governs employer health plans. The bill has been introduced in Congress but has not yet advanced through the process.
