State Legislative Diabetes
& Obesity Handbook

The State Legislative Diabetes & Obesity Handbook exists to help policymakers, advocates, and the community identify state and national tools to consider replicating to combat diabetes and its risk factors. Amid long-standing commitments to public health, and legislative advancements such as copayment caps, increased price transparency and coverage mandates, the question we are most often asked by key leaders: What else can we do?

The Handbook offers state policymakers models that serve to improve patients' access and affordability and solutions that deliver economic benefits.

Featured Policy Models

The PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE ModeL
Partner with community organizations to provide low-cost medications

The Kentucky Prescription Assistance Program (KPAP) enables and expands community-based efforts to enroll eligible individuals in reduced cost prescription programs presently offered by manufacturers, retailers and other sponsors.

Run by just a few full-time employees and contractors to keep the program lean and mean, KPAP connects Kentuckians with resources to reduce prescription costs, offering more direct access to the treatment they need to live. By partnering with individuals and organizations already active in underserved communities – including county health departments, hospitals, food pantries and faith-based organizations — KPAP can expand its capacity to all 120 counties without duplicating efforts. Today, KPAP is helping more than 4,800 Kentuckians access $47 million in free and reduced-cost medications in a single year. KPAP's efficient deployment of its annual $600K appropriation may make it the only state program across the nation to deliver a 78-times return on investment.

The REBATE REFORM ModeL
Share the savings with patients, not the PBMs
West Virginia has implemented a solution that not only offers immediate relief to patients at the pharmacy counter but also increases transparency in a flawed system known for excessively inflating costs

.Prescription drug rebates are discounts provided by manufacturers to incentivize Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and insurance companies to cover their medicines. West Virginia has taken a significant step by mandating the transfer of rebates from PBMs to patients at the pharmacy counter, resulting in reduced patient costs and equitable access to life sustaining and lifesaving medications. Refusal to share these rebates, which exceed 80% of list price in the case of insulin, leaves people with chronic conditions paying hundreds of dollars more than their own insurance company.

West Virginia became the first state in the nation to require rebate pass-through that prioritizes patients over profit-seeking PBMs. Now legislators across the country from California to Maine have joined the fight to share the savings.

The MEDICAID CGM COVERAGE ModeL
Better coverage for the tools to manage diabetes successfully

Arkansas has passed legislation requiring its Medicaid program to include diabetes technology to ensure low-income residents have comprehensive coverage

Continuous glucose monitors (CGM)offer people with diabetes an essential tool to keep their blood glucose levels within a recommended range.  By helping patients make prompt adjustments to manage their condition, these devices also mitigate avoidable complications that could cost Medicaid thousands. One study shows that patient adoption of CGMs for just nine months results in healthcare costs savings of $4,000 compared to a patient without a CGM. 

While federal laws and regulations set standards for coverage under Medicaid, individual states may determine the finer points of what is and is not covered, and how programs are administered. By including tools like CGMs under Medicaid, a state may safeguard its most vulnerable residents while effectively managing its financial resource

ENHANCING ACCESS AND AWARENESS
tO TREAT AND PREVENT OBESITY

Addressing the obesity epidemic requires a multifaceted policy approach that shifts the focus from short-term interventions to long-term, sustainable solutions, beginning with coverage of all obesity treatments, both behavioral and pharmacological. Specifically, states may:

           – Offer coverage of Medicaid programs like the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and clinical               lifestyle approaches such as intensive behavioral therapy (IBT) and medical nutritional therapy (MNT)
          – Expand treatment offerings to include anti-obesity medications
          – Address the unwelcome impact of obesity stigma  

Presently, there exists no legislative model which comprehensively addresses the need for enhanced access and awareness to treat and prevent obesity - we look forward to continued engagement from lawmakers on this subject and the creation of such a policy.
