Bill Summary
For legislation to require insurance companies to reimburse licensed athletic trainers for certain services. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill requires insurance companies to reimburse licensed athletic trainers for the same covered services that they would reimburse other healthcare providers. The bill specifies that these services must be provided with a referral from a physician and within the scope of practice authorized by law. The bill also allows insurers to apply reasonable deductibles, copayments, and other utilization review, as long as they are not unfairly discriminative against athletic trainer care. The term "health insurance plan" is defined to include individual or group health insurance policies, hospital or medical service contracts, and other health benefit plans, but excludes limited benefit plans.
