A proposal in Springfield could require health insurance companies to cover prescription vitamins starting January 1, 2027. The policy would apply to state employee, private insurance, and managed care plans. The bill does not cover vitamins purchased over the counter, but Republicans are concerned about potential increases in insurance premiums. Democrats argue that the change could benefit many individuals, although Rep. Lisa Davis acknowledged she had limited time to gather information on the legislation before the hearing. The House Insurance Committee passed House Bill 3699 on a partisan 11-5 vote, sending it to the House for further consideration. Rep. Bob Morgan urged for support of the bill, indicating that stakeholders would provide feedback on any potential fiscal impact. If passed, this new policy could have a significant impact on the accessibility of prescription vitamins for individuals with health insurance coverage.
