SIGN YOUR NAME: PROTECT PATIENTS FROM HARMFUL HEALTH PLAN CHANGES & NON-MEDICAL SWITCHING
Pennsylvania State Legislature
In Pennsylvania, health insurers will sometimes make major changes to a patient’s health coverage, forcing patients to switch their medication to an alternative drug or service. This unfair practice is called “non-medical switching” and it can have dangerous health and financial consequences for patients – especially those managing complex, chronic, and rare medical conditions.
Lawmakers in Harrisburg are considering legislation (HB 853) to protect patients from sudden, unfair health plan changes.
Treatment decisions should be determined by doctors and patients, not insurers. Sign today to put patients over profits and pass HB 853 today!

In Pennsylvania, health insurers will sometimes make major changes to a patient’s health coverage, forcing patients to switch their medication to an alternative drug or service. This unfair practice is called “non-medical switching” and it can have dangerous health and financial consequences for patients.
Pennsylvania allows insurers to make these unfair changes at any time, often threatening the health and stability of patients with complex, chronic, and rare medical conditions.
I urge you to pass HB 853 to protect patients from unfair health plan changes like non-medical switching.
