Bill > SB176

This bill requires individual and group health insurance providers to cover pelvic floor therapy. It amends the state's insurance laws to mandate coverage for pelvic floor therapy, which is a type of physical therapy that helps strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. The bill applies to both individual and group health insurance plans, and prohibits insurers from subjecting pelvic floor therapy coverage to higher copayments, deductibles, or coinsurance than other similar benefits. The fiscal note indicates that this coverage expansion could lead to increased premium costs and potential state obligations to cover the additional benefits for certain health plans, though the full financial impact is indeterminable.
