<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NASTAD has created a PrEP Cost Sharing Complaint Template resource (see link below) that patients and providers can use to file a complaint about an uncompliant health plan charging for PrEP services. We have created an Oregon specific
template with contact information for our state’s department of insurance. That template is attached.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;color:black">Since January 1, 2021, all qualified commercial health plans are required to cover PrEP services without cost sharing, including medication, clinic visits, and lab services. NASTAD has received
multiple notifications of health plans not being in compliance with these federal requirements.
