Introduced by: Jeffrey L. McWaters | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Accident and sickness insurance; coverage for hospitalization and anesthesia for dental procedures. Expands the scope of the existing requirement that health insurers, health maintenance organizations, and corporations providing accident and sickness subscription contracts provide coverage for general anesthesia and hospitalization or facility charges of a licensed outpatient surgery facility for dental care to include covered persons who are under the age of 13. The requirement currently applies to such persons who are under age five. The requirement for coverage continues to apply when a covered person is determined by a licensed dentist, in consultation with the covered person's treating physician, to require general anesthesia and admission to a hospital or outpatient surgery facility to effectively and safely provide dental care. The existing requirement for coverage also applies to covered persons who are severely disabled or have a medical condition and require admission to a hospital or outpatient surgery facility and general anesthesia for dental care treatment.
