Health care insurance; requirements
AI Summary
This bill aims to establish new requirements for health care insurers in Arizona. It prohibits insurers from excluding coverage for preexisting conditions, requires them to accept all eligible individuals and small employers, and bans annual or lifetime limits on essential benefits. The bill also sets guidelines for how insurers can vary premium rates, and mandates that insurers allow dependents to remain on their parents' plans until age 26, even if the dependent is married, not living with their parents, or eligible for their own employer's plan. The bill defines key terms like "essential benefits" and "preexisting condition exclusion" to provide clarity on its provisions.
