Bill > HB2433

This bill mandates that insurance companies offering Medicare supplement insurance to individuals aged 65 and older must also offer these policies to individuals eligible for Medicare due to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), ensuring they receive the same benefits and coverage. ESRD is a condition where the kidneys have failed and require dialysis or a transplant, while ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. The bill also establishes specific enrollment periods for these individuals, including a period for those under 65 who are enrolled in Medicare due to ESRD or ALS, and prohibits insurers from charging them higher premiums than those charged to 65-year-old enrollees for comparable plans.
