Legislators in states across the country are weighing bills to limit or lower the cost of medication and supplies those with diabetes need to live healthy lives, in an effort to bring down expensive costs of treatment.
The Rhode Island Senate this month approved a bill that would cap copayments for supplies and equipment used to treat diabetes to $25 for a 30-day supply. Rhode Island already caps the cost of a monthly supply of insulin at $40, but the new bill would apply to administration supplies and glucose monitoring supplies.
