Bill > S02655

This bill requires health insurance policies, including those offered by health plans and health insurance issuers in connection with group health plans, to cover rehabilitation treatment for pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome, a condition defined by its sudden onset in children. This coverage is contingent upon a written certification from the patient's attending physician confirming the medical necessity of the proposed rehabilitative treatment. The bill amends existing insurance laws to ensure this coverage applies to policies issued, renewed, modified, altered, or amended on or after January 1st of the year following its enactment.
