Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Health insurance companies would have to let pregnant women sign up for coverage at any time during their pregnancy. Once a doctor confirms the pregnancy, the woman can enroll without paying any extra fees or penalties. Her new insurance coverage would start on the first day of the month she was certified as pregnant or the following month. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1

This bill relates to a special enrollment period for pregnant women. The bill requires a policy, contract, or plan (policy) providing for third-party payment or prepayment of health or medical expenses to provide a special enrollment period for a pregnant woman that allows the pregnant woman to enroll after a health care professional (professional) certifies that the woman is pregnant, up to the date that the woman’s pregnancy reaches weeks gestation. The policy shall not impose a fee or other penalty for special enrollment of the pregnant woman. Upon enrollment of a pregnant woman in a policy, coverage shall be effective as of the first day of the month in which the professional certifies that the woman is pregnant, unless the individual elects to have coverage effective on the first day of the month following the date that the woman received certification of the pregnancy. The bill applies to third-party payment providers enumerated in the bill. The bill specifies the types of specialized health-related insurance which are not subject to the coverage requirements of the bill. The commissioner of insurance may adopt rules to administer the bill.
Por qué importa. Health insurance providers would be required to offer pregnant women a special enrollment period without fees or penalties once a healthcare professional certifies the pregnancy. This change allows women to enroll in coverage that becomes effective either on the first day of the month the pregnancy is certified or the first day of the following month.
