Bill > HB06095

This bill would require the Commissioner of Social Services to expand the HUSKY Health program (Connecticut's state Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program) to provide medical coverage for children experiencing long COVID-19 or post-COVID-19 medical expenses that are not already covered by their private health insurance. Long COVID-19 refers to persistent health symptoms or conditions that continue for weeks or months after the initial COVID-19 infection, which can include a range of medical issues that may require ongoing treatment. By mandating this coverage, the bill aims to ensure that children who are dealing with ongoing health complications from COVID-19 will have access to necessary medical care without facing significant financial burdens, particularly in situations where their existing private insurance does not fully address their specific medical needs.
