Fight Discrimination Against Arthritis
U.S. Representative David McKinley (R-WV) has introduced legislation known as The Patient Access to Treatments Act (specialty tier federal bill) to end this discrimination by requiring insurers to impose the same co-pay obligations for Tier IV/specialty drugs, such as biologics, as they do for Tier III medications. This bill number is H.R. 4209.
.
Congressman McKinley’s bipartisan original cosponsors are: Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA), Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), and Rep. C.W. Bill Young (R-FL).”
