Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Title 24, Title 29, And Title 31 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Insurance Coverage For Chiropractic Therapy And Physical Therapy.
AI Summary
This bill expands insurance coverage for chiropractic and physical therapy services by removing limitations on the number of visits allowed. Specifically, it amends existing Delaware laws to ensure that insurance plans, including those from health service corporations and health maintenance organizations, cannot impose annual or lifetime limits on chiropractic and physical therapy visits for the treatment of the spine and other neuromusculoskeletal structures, including extremities, rather than just back pain. This change applies to all policies, contracts, or certificates issued, renewed, modified, altered, amended, or reissued after December 31, 2026, and also clarifies that Medicaid coverage for these services will also be free from such numerical limitations to the extent permitted by federal law.
