Bill Summary

As enacted, clarifies that excepted benefits are not part of a requirement to provide coverage for a specific person, provider, treatment, service, condition, or disease, unless coverage of such excepted benefits is expressly required by law. - Amends TCA Title 56.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee insurance law to clarify the status of "excepted benefits" in insurance coverage requirements. Specifically, the bill states that excepted benefits (which are defined elsewhere in Tennessee Code § 56-7-2802) are not automatically required to be included in insurance coverage for a specific person, provider, treatment, service, condition, or disease, unless another law explicitly mandates their coverage. The legislation will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to insurance policies and contracts that are entered into, issued, delivered, amended, or renewed on or after that date. This change provides insurers with more flexibility in determining the scope of their coverage, allowing them to exclude certain types of benefits unless those benefits are specifically required by separate legal provisions.
