Insured patients get $100 epinephrine cost cap

New York requires major medical or similar comprehensive health plans with prescription drug coverage to cover medically necessary epinephrine auto-injectors. These devices treat life-threatening allergic reactions in emergencies. Your total cost for these devices is capped at $100 per year, including deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. If the cap threatens health savings account eligibility, it applies after the federally required minimum deductible is met. For care classified as preventive under federal health savings account rules, the cap applies before that deductible is met.
