RELATING TO EMPLOYER HEALTH CARE REQUIREMENTS.
SB 1172 requires all health insurers in the state, including Medicaid managed care programs, to include dental and vision treatment as part of standard coverage. This directly affects health insurers by expanding their mandated benefits to cover these services, which were previously not required. The bill would ensure that people enrolled in these health plans receive dental and vision care without needing separate coverage or additional out-of-pocket costs.
