AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to Pennsylvania's insurance laws, primarily by updating references from the "Public Welfare Code" to the "Human Services Code" and making minor adjustments to coverage provisions. Specifically, it clarifies that the Commonwealth's medical assistance program, which is now referred to under the "Human Services Code," is excluded from certain continuation of coverage requirements for mini-COBRA policies, and it also updates the definition of "government program" to reflect the name change. Additionally, the bill makes editorial changes to ensure consistency in terminology and references across various sections of the insurance law, including those related to mastectomy coverage, autism spectrum disorders, long-term care partnerships, and health insurance claim forms.
