AN ACT REQUIRING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR ACTIVITY-SPECIFIC PROSTHETIC AND ORTHOTIC DEVICES.

SB 1015 requires all individual and group health insurance plans in the state to cover activity-specific prosthetic and orthotic devices. This directly affects individuals who rely on specialized devices (like those for sports or specific physical activities) to restore mobility or function. The bill mandates that insurers include these devices in standard coverage, eliminating the need for separate authorization for each activity-based device. It applies to all health insurance policies governed under Chapter 700c, ensuring consistent access for policyholders without requiring additional cost-sharing.
