Does the state require managed care programs to cover the costs for adult patients to participate in clinical trials?
States receive a "meets policy" if they require managed care plans to pay the routine costs associated with clinical trials for adult patients. States receive a "weak policy" if they only require insurers to offer coverage of clinical trials as a benefit in employer-sponsored insurance plans, but have not required that it be a mandated benefit in all of these insurance plans. States receive a "no policy" if they do not mandate coverage for clinical trials.
