(original post) - Many insurance companies have recently begun implementing “Co-Pay Accumulator Adjustment Programs,” which prevent third-party financial assistance, such as patient assistance programs, from applying to a patient’s insurance deductible or other out-of-pocket costs.Īs a result, these accumulator adjustment programs increase out-of-pocket costs for patients and make it difficult for individuals with high deductibles or chronic diseases to follow treatment plans. And thank YOU for making your voice heard in support of this bill and sharing your story with legislators! The new law will go into effect on January 1, 2025. Thanks to the Chronic Care Collaborative for their advocacy. Thank you to the prime sponsors of this legislation, Sen. Colorado has now become the 18th state to protect patient assistance to help ensure patients can access and afford medications that they need.
