AI Summary
This bill amends The Insurance Company Law of 1921 to require all health insurance policies in Pennsylvania to provide coverage for the treatment of eating disorders, including residential treatment, if it is deemed medically necessary. The bill defines "eating disorder" to include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and other specified conditions, and "health insurance policy" to include certain group health, sickness, or accident policies. The bill also prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage or providing incentives to avoid the eating disorder coverage requirement, and limits the cost-sharing that can be imposed for such treatment. The bill will take effect 60 days after passage.
