Bill Summary · LC 2363

Legislative bill overview

LC 2363 proposes revisions to Montana's insurance laws specifically regarding coverage of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and related supplies. The bill appears designed to clarify or expand insurance requirements for these diabetes management devices. The measure is currently in the legislative drafting process and has not yet been formally introduced to the legislature.

Why is this important

Continuous glucose monitors are critical medical devices for diabetics, particularly those with type 1 diabetes, enabling real-time blood sugar tracking and reducing complications. Insurance coverage decisions directly affect patient access and out-of-pocket costs for these life-sustaining devices. Clarifying insurance obligations could improve health outcomes and reduce financial barriers to proper diabetes management for Montana residents.

Potential points of contention

  • Insurance industry costs: Insurers may resist expanded mandates if they substantially increase premiums or administrative burden across all covered individuals
  • Scope of coverage: Disagreement may arise over whether coverage should include all CGM brands/models, replacement frequency, and supply refills, or be limited to specific devices
  • Eligibility criteria: Questions about whether coverage applies to all diabetics or only specific populations (type 1 vs. type 2, age groups, income levels)
