Lower inhaler costs for asthma patients
Beginning January 1, 2027, qualifying New York plans must cover prescribed asthma inhalers. This covers individual, group, and health service corporation plans that provide comprehensive medical coverage and prescription drug coverage. Prescriptions must come from a physician or another licensed provider legally allowed to prescribe under New York law. Plans must cover one form of rescue inhaler and one form of maintenance inhaler without deductibles, copays, coinsurance, or other cost sharing. The requirement applies to policies and contracts issued, renewed, modified, altered, or amended on or after that date. High-deductible plans may apply their annual deductible only when waiving it would make the enrollee ineligible for a health savings account.
