Bill Summary
A bill for an act related to health insurance coverage for the assessment or diagnosis of a health condition, illness, or disease related to COVID-19, and for the administration of COVID-19 vaccines, and including effective date and retroactive applicability provisions.
AI Summary
This bill requires health insurance policies, contracts, and plans in Iowa to waive all cost-sharing requirements for COVID-19-related health care services recommended by a covered person's health care provider, and to waive all costs for the administration of COVID-19 vaccines. It also prohibits insurers from retroactively denying reimbursement to health care providers based on the provider's network status or the covered person's diagnosis. The bill grants the Iowa Insurance Commissioner the authority to adopt emergency rules to implement these provisions, and the bill takes effect upon enactment and applies retroactively to January 1, 2020.
