                                BILL NUMBER:A10229

TITLE  OF  BILL:    An  act  to  amend the insurance law, in relation to
prescription coverage for eye drops

PURPOSE: This bill amends certain sections of the insurance law to allow
for the refill of prescription eye drops when the  refill  is  requested
prior to the expiration of the period of suggested use.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:, Section 1. Amends section 3216 subsection (1) of
the  insurance  law to add a new paragraph twenty-seven to allow for the
refill of prescription eye drops when the refill is requested  prior  to
the expiration of the period of suggested use, and to prohibit denial of
coverage for a renewal of the eye drop prescription prior to the expira-
tion of the period of usage authorized by the prescribing provider.

Section  2.  Amends  section 3221 subsection (k) of the insurance law to
add a new paragraph sixteen to allow for the refill of prescription  eye
drops when the refill is requested prior to the expiration of the period
of  suggested  use,  and to prohibit denial of coverage for a renewal of
the eye drop prescription prior to the expiration of the period of usage
authorized by the prescribing provider.

Section 3. Amends section 4303  of  the  insurance  law  to  add  a  new
subsection  (gg)  to allow for the refill of prescription eye drops when
the refill is requested  prior  to  the  expiration  of  the  period  of

suggested  use,  and to prohibit denial of coverage for a renewal of the
eye drop prescription prior to the expiration of  the  period  of  usage
authorized by the prescribing provider.

Section 4. Sets forth the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION: Many patients rely on a variety of prescription eye medi-
cations  for  the  preservation  of sight. Particularly, those suffering
from glaucoma and other degenerative eye diseases  require  prescription
eye  drops on a daily basis. The effectiveness of prescription eye drops
relies heavily upon continuity  of  treatment,  specifically  consistent
daily usage by the patient.

Presently,  many  patients  run out of their prescription eye drops well
before the expiration of the intended  period  of  use  denoted  on  the
prescription   label.  This  is  particularly  problematic  for  elderly
patients with unsteady hands. However, even those using the utmost  care
in  storing  and using the eye drops find it nearly impossible to ration
the medication to last the period of intended use. When a  patient  runs
out of their prescription prior to the expiration of the intended period
of  use  and  returns  to  their  pharmacist  seeking  a  refill  of the
prescription, coverage is  denied  by  the  insurance  company  and  the
patient is turned away empty handed.

Furthermore,  many of these medications are not yet available in generic
form and are very costly, thereby prohibiting patients from  paying  for

the  necessary  prescription  out  of  pocket  which  disproportionately
burdens our elderly and infirm. Unfortunately, many patients are  unable
to  utilize  the  entirety of the medication because of shaky hands or a
defect  in  the  products' dispensing mechanism. This bill would correct
the problem by allowing for provider authorized refills of the  product.
Failing  to  provide  sensible  refill  and insurance coverage policies,
prohibits continuity of care and puts patients at  risk.  Therefore,  to
ensure  that  patients  who  have prescription drug coverage continue to
receive this important treatment it is necessary to require coverage for
refills of prescription eye drops, as authorized by a prescribing physi-
cian regardless of whether or  not  the  intended  period  of  used  has
expired.    Additionally,  coverage  shall  not be denied when a patient
seeks a renewal of the prescription, provided that it is  authorized  by
the  prescribing  physician.  This  legislation will provide much needed
protections for those who rely on prescription eye drops  for  preserva-
tion of sight.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: None

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None

EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
