Bill > SB00392

This bill aims to prevent health insurance companies from arbitrarily or unilaterally reducing or restricting health insurance coverage for children with special needs. Specifically, the bill focuses on protecting coverage for critical therapeutic services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and feeding therapy. By prohibiting insurance companies from independently making coverage limitations, the legislation seeks to ensure that special needs children can continue to receive essential medical and developmental support services without unexpected interruptions or reductions in their insurance benefits. The bill would amend existing state statutes to explicitly block insurers from making unilateral decisions that could negatively impact the healthcare access of children with special needs, thereby providing more stability and predictability for families managing complex medical conditions and developmental challenges.
