Bill > S603

This bill aims to promote consumer choice in health care by requiring health insurers to reimburse licensed athletic trainers for covered services, provided the services are within the athletic trainers' scope of practice and the insurer would reimburse another healthcare provider for those same services. The bill specifies that the reimbursement amounts, limits, and utilization review for athletic trainer services cannot be more restrictive than those applicable to other healthcare providers under the same policy. This is intended to ensure that athletic trainer care is not unfairly discriminated against and to allow consumers to choose athletic trainers as part of their healthcare team.
