WASHINGTON — Insurers will have to count drug copay coupons toward deductibles and patient spending caps in most cases, after a Biden move in federal court on Tuesday.

Drug companies use copay coupons to help patients cover the cost of their drugs.

Before now, when drug companies helped patients pay their share of drug costs, insurers often didn’t count that assistance toward deductibles and out-of-pocket limits.

The Trump administration let insurers use the tactic when cheaper generics were not available.
