Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Requiring the inclusion of certain cost sharing amounts made on behalf of participants in a covered prescription drug benefit be included in the calculation of plan out-of-pocket maximums, deductibles and copayments could result in an increase in costs to the State Employee Health Plan beginning in the plan year starting July 1, 2023. The amount and timing of the additional costs will depend on the volume of such payments (e.g., manufacturer coupons) currently being paid on behalf of participants and the type and use of payments that could be available in the future.
