Bill Summary
For legislation to require insurance companies to reimburse licensed athletic trainers for certain services. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill requires insurance companies to reimburse licensed athletic trainers for certain services, as long as the insurer would reimburse other healthcare providers for those same services. The bill applies to health plans that provide coverage for the specific type of service or medical condition that falls within the scope of practice for licensed athletic trainers. The bill allows for reasonable deductibles, copayments, and utilization review, but states that these cannot unfairly discriminate against care provided by athletic trainers. The term "health insurance plan" is defined to include individual and group health insurance policies, as well as other health benefit plans, but excludes plans that only cover specific diseases or provide limited benefits.
