Text

(a) A policy of accident and sickness
insurance must provide coverage for a refill of prescription eye drops
if the following are met:
(1) For a thirty (30) day supply, the insured requests the refill not
earlier than twenty-five (25) days after the date the prescription
eye drops were last dispensed to the insured.
(2) For a ninety (90) day supply, the insured requests the refill not
earlier than seventy-five (75) days after the date the prescription
eye drops were last dispensed to the insured.
(3) The prescribing practitioner has indicated on the prescription
that the prescription eye drops are refillable and the refill
requested by the insured does not exceed the refillable amount
remaining on the prescription.
(b) The coverage required by subsection (a) must not be subject to
dollar limits, copayments, deductibles, or coinsurance provisions that
are less favorable to an insured than the dollar limits, copayments,
deductibles, or coinsurance provisions that apply to coverage for
prescription drugs generally under the policy of accident and sickness
insurance.
(c) This section applies to a policy of accident and sickness
insurance issued, delivered, amended, or renewed after December 31,
