Abstract

(SB1034 · 103rd Legislature) Insurance: health insurers; coverage for prescription inhalers; require. Amends 1956 PA 218 (MCL 500.100 - 500.8302) by adding sec. 3406xx. Latest action (2026-06-11): Senate Co-sponsor(s) Named: Erika Geiss

Why this matters

Prescription inhalers are a high-cost, high-utilization category for Michiganders with asthma and COPD, and coverage gaps can drive emergency room use and medication non-adherence. SB1034 would guarantee inhaler coverage for people on state-regulated commercial insurance plans, continuing a legislative trend of drug-specific coverage mandates written into the Insurance Code.
