HB 1184 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Health insurers; prohibit from denying a claim solely because person is not vaccinated.

HB 1184 prohibits health insurers in Mississippi from denying coverage for medical services solely because a person hasn't received a vaccine recommended or required by the state health officer. It directly affects individuals with health insurance who may face coverage denials based on vaccination status. The bill requires insurers to cover claims regardless of vaccination history for state-recommended vaccines, applying to all defined health insurers including plans like the State and School Employees Health Insurance Plan. The law would take effect on July 1, 2026, though the bill died in committee in February 2026.
