Bill Summary

A bill to amend section 1303(b)(3) of Public Law 111-148 concerning the notice requirements regarding the extent of health plan coverage of abortion and abortion premium surcharges.

AI Summary

This bill, titled the Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2013, aims to amend Public Law 111-148 to enhance transparency regarding health plan coverage of abortion services and any additional charges, known as abortion premium surcharges. Specifically, it mandates that health plans must clearly disclose to individuals signing up for coverage, and prominently feature in all marketing materials, comparison tools, and benefit summaries, the extent to which abortion services are covered. Furthermore, if a health plan covers abortion services and a separate surcharge is applied to the premium for these services, this surcharge must be explicitly identified and disclosed separately from the overall premium cost. These new disclosure requirements will take effect more than 30 days after the bill is enacted.
