Bill > HB5406

This bill amends the Michigan insurance code to prohibit health insurers from providing coverage for human organ transplants under two specific circumstances: first, if the transplant operation is performed in China or another country designated by the state's health and human services director as having participated in forced organ harvesting; and second, if the organ being transplanted was procured through sale or donation originating in such a country. The bill defines "forced organ harvesting" as the removal of organs from a living person through coercion, abduction, deception, fraud, or abuse of power. The legislation aims to prevent Michigan health insurance companies from supporting or reimbursing organ transplant procedures that might involve unethical or illegal organ procurement practices, particularly in countries like China where there have been documented concerns about involuntary organ removal from vulnerable populations.
