SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Health care coverage; childhood immunizations. Requires health insurers, health maintenance organizations and corporations providing health care coverage subscription contracts to provide coverage for childhood immunizations, subject to any co-payment or co-insurance requirements under the policy. The required benefits apply to children from birth to 36 months of age and extend to all routine and necessary immunizations, defined as diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella, and such other immunizations as may be prescribed by the Commissioner of Health. This mandate does not apply if the insured has elected to obtain coverage for child health supervision services, without any co-payment or co-insurance being required, under the existing mandate to offer such coverage.
