Bill Summary
Insurance; preexisting condition exclusions; prohibition
AI Summary
This bill prohibits health care insurers in Arizona from denying coverage or imposing pre-existing condition exclusions on individual health plans. It requires insurers to provide guaranteed availability of coverage and establishes open enrollment periods and special enrollment criteria. The bill includes definitions for key terms like "grandfathered health plan coverage" and "pre-existing condition exclusion." However, the bill's implementation is contingent on a court ruling that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is unconstitutional, which would effectively repeal the ACA's protections against pre-existing condition exclusions.
