Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH COVERAGE; ENACTING SECTIONS OF THE HEALTH CARE PURCHASING ACT, THE NEW MEXICO INSURANCE CODE, THE HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATION LAW AND THE NONPROFIT HEALTH CARE PLAN LAW TO ESTABLISH LIMITS ON COST SHARING AND COINSURANCE FOR CHIROPRACTIC PHYSICIAN SERVICES.

AI Summary

This bill establishes limits on cost-sharing and coinsurance for chiropractic physician services in group health coverage, individual and group health insurance policies, health maintenance organization (HMO) contracts, and nonprofit health care plans. Specifically, it prohibits these plans from imposing a copayment or coinsurance on chiropractic services that exceeds the copayment or coinsurance for primary care services. Primary care services are defined as the first level of basic or general health care, including diagnostic and treatment services, referrals, and continuity of care. The bill exempts short-term travel, accident-only, and limited or specified-disease policies from these requirements, and the provisions take effect on January 1, 2024.
