Changes to add-on coverage for individual plans
This bill would treat some add-on coverage sold with individual health plans as an "excepted benefit." Insurers could offer more supplemental products tied to your plan. These add-ons would follow fewer consumer protections than full health insurance. This mainly affects people who buy their own coverage; no effective date is specified in the text.
