MODERATE

The bill was updated from a draft version to a committee substitute, expanding its scope to cover group, blanket, and franchise insurance policies in addition to individual policies. The most significant change is the introduction of a specific 'eligible individual' definition, which restricts the new orthotics and prosthetics coverage to children, young adults under 26, dependent children, and individuals with developmental disabilities, rather than applying to all insureds.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to include group, blanket, and franchise health insurance policies, whereas the original draft only mandated coverage for individual health insurance policies.

ELIGIBILITY

Added a specific definition of 'eligible individual' limiting coverage to children under 18, dependent children, youth under 26 on a parent's plan, and individuals with developmental disabilities.

SCOPE

Extended mandatory coverage requirements to group, blanket, and franchise health insurance policies, not just individual policies.

REQUIREMENT

Added a provision explicitly stating that the act does not require coverage for insureds who do not meet the new 'eligible individual' definition.

DEFINITION

Added a new section (Section 5) to create a statute for Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) to mirror the requirements for individual and group policies.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill title and summary to reflect the new eligibility restrictions and expanded scope of coverage.
