SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Prohibits certain insurance policies, subscription contracts, and health maintenance organization contracts from imposing on an insured, subscriber, or enrollee who is the victim of sexual assault any cost-sharing requirement, including a co-payment, coinsurance, deductible, or other dollar limit provision, with respect to any medication prescribed to prevent HIV. If the insured, subscriber, or enrollee does not report the sexual assault to the police, the prohibition shall not apply unless an examination conducted under a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program or equivalent program results in a determination that there is a high probability that the sexual assault has resulted in the transmission of HIV. The prohibition applies to those contracts, policies, or plans delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed in the Commonwealth on and after July 1, 2014, that include coverage for the prescribed medication.
