Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Children with disabilities keep health coverage
Effective immediately, the law protects certain unmarried children from losing individual or group health coverage at the policy's age limit. The child must have been covered before age 19 and become unable to support themselves through work before 19. That inability must result from an intellectual or physical disability, and the child must depend chiefly on the insured for support. The policyholder or insured group member must submit proof within 31 days after the child reaches the policy's age limit. Coverage continues while the insurance stays active and the child remains in that condition. The rule covers individual policies delivered after January 1, 1968, and group policies delivered on or after that date. Insurers need not newly cover a group member's child who fails the policy's health-proof or other requirements for starting coverage.
Disability programs qualify for health reinvestment
Effective immediately, the law explicitly includes intellectual-disability programs in the definition of community health reinvestment activities. The definition covers funding, subsidizing, or providing programs that prevent or treat disease or injury. It also includes mental disorders, mental health counseling, and health or wellness programs. The law sets no funding amount and does not guarantee support for any program.
