Bill Summary
AN ACT to create 157.06 (15m) of the statutes; relating to: prohibiting knowingly covering organ transplantation and related care under health insurance policies and the Medical Assistance program if the organ is transplanted in or originates from a country known to have participated in forced organ harvesting.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits health insurance policies and the state's Medical Assistance program from knowingly covering organ transplantation and related care if the organ is transplanted in or originates from a country known to have participated in "forced organ harvesting," which is defined as the removal of organs from living individuals through coercion, abduction, deception, fraud, abuse of power, or from individuals killed for organ removal. The Department of Health Services can designate countries involved in forced organ harvesting, with the People's Republic of China being specifically mentioned as an example. This prohibition applies to disability insurance policies, self-insured health plans, and the Medical Assistance program, though it does not apply to post-transplant care provided to save a life after a prohibited transplant has already occurred. The bill also outlines when these new rules will take effect for different types of insurance policies and plans.
