Great coverage by @NEWS9 on #HB3737 which would will protect patients from surprise bills, known as co-pay accumulator adjustments, at the pharmacy. These costs usually get buried in the fine print of patient plans and contracts. https://t.co/cxMAgPeq64 #Oklahoma#patient#oklege
Grateful to @OKCFOX for educating #Oklahomans on a very important bill that was up for a hearing today, #HB3737, which addresses the issue of insurance companies refusing to count co-pay assistance program payments towards patients' out-of-pocket maximums. https://t.co/9UqtUmqYXL

"Gov. Kevin Stitt signed into law..a bill that requires insurers to establish clear guidelines for any plan that utilizes step therapy protocols. That was the right & sensible thing to do.. Insurance companies too often put costs above patients & their needs." - @MuskogeePhoenix
‘The Legislature and Gov. Kevin Stitt put patients first with their approval of a bill reforming “step therapy” procedures.’ We agree! Thank you, @GovStitt and #OKLege for your leadership. https://t.co/PCgY1eKiND
