Bill Summary
Virginia Health Benefit Exchange; special enrollment period for pregnancy. Requires the Virginia Health Benefit Exchange to establish by January 1, 2026, a special enrollment period for a pregnant qualified individual to enroll in a qualified health plan at any time after the commencement of the pregnancy.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Virginia Health Benefit Exchange (a state-run marketplace for health insurance established under the Affordable Care Act) to create a special enrollment period specifically for pregnant individuals by January 1, 2026. Currently, health insurance enrollment is typically limited to specific annual periods or triggered by major life events. This bill would allow pregnant individuals to enroll in a qualified health plan at any time after their pregnancy begins, providing more flexible access to health coverage. The special enrollment period would be designed and implemented according to guidelines established by the Exchange, which means the specific details of how and when individuals can enroll will be determined by the Exchange itself. This change aims to improve healthcare access for pregnant individuals by removing potential barriers related to traditional enrollment windows.
