Introduced by: R. Creigh Deeds | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Health insurance; exclusion for preventive treatments; genetic predisposition. Prohibits health insurers, corporations providing accident and sickness subscription contracts, and health maintenance organizations from excluding coverage for services to prevent, eliminate or reduce the likelihood of the development of an illness, disease or condition solely on grounds that signs or symptoms of the illness, disease or condition have not yet presented. The coverage shall be provided if the insured's treating physician has determined that the person has a genetic factor or family history indicating a predisposition to such illness, disease or condition and that the risks to the covered person resulting from such predisposition render such services medically appropriate.
