Delaware House Passes Bill for Free PrEP and PEP: Amid HIV Service Cuts
The Delaware House has approved a bill mandating free PrEP and PEP medications for HIV prevention in health insurance plans, with no out-of-pocket costs or delays. Backed by Representative Nnamdi Chukwuocha, the bill passed on March 26th and now heads to the Senate. This move comes as federal funding cuts threaten Delawares HIV services, with eligibility for the Ryan White program significantly reduced from April 1st. The bill applies to individual, group, state employee, and Medicaid plans, affecting new or renewed policies after December 31, 2027.
