Abstract:
Over strong protests from businesses, the 1999 North Carolina General Assembly enacted major changes in laws affecting the state's HMOs. The changes include requiring health plans to cover the cost of birth control pills and pregnancy-prevention devices; to provide patient access to and payment for non-formulary drugs; and to pay for bone mass measurement tests for early detection of osteoporosis.
