Bill > SB1212

This bill, effective January 1, 2027, prohibits health care insurers in Arizona from paying health professionals differently based on whether a patient is vaccinated. A "health care insurer" is defined broadly to include various types of insurance companies and health service organizations that offer health plans in the state, while a "covered individual" refers to anyone insured or enrolled in such a plan. The bill also clarifies that a "health professional" is defined as it is in another section of Arizona law (section 32-3201), which generally refers to licensed individuals who provide healthcare services. The core intent is to ensure that reimbursement rates for medical services are not influenced by a patient's vaccination status.
