Section A. Chapter 376, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 376.815, to read as follows:
376.815. No health carrier, as defined in section 376.1350, shall change its drug formulary except pursuant to a United States Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration recommendation or at the beginning of each policy annual anniversary date. A health carrier, however, may add new prescription drugs to its formulary during such period. No health carrier shall increase an enrollee's co-payment, co-insurance or other out-of-pocket expense for formulary drugs except at the beginning of each policy annual anniversary date.
