An Act amending the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284), known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921, in casualty insurance, providing for coverage of allergenic protein dietary supplements.
HB 672 requires Pennsylvania health insurers to cover prescribed early allergen introduction dietary supplements for infants under one year old, specifically those containing safe, well-cooked egg or peanut protein to help reduce food allergy risk. Insurers must provide this coverage at no additional cost to consumers, including no deductibles, copays, or coinsurance. The law applies to most health insurance policies (excluding specialized plans like dental or workers' compensation) and mandates coverage for supplements prescribed by licensed healthcare providers. It directly affects infants at risk of food allergies, particularly addressing health disparities noted in the bill (e.g., higher allergy rates among Black children). The policy changes are effective 60 days after enactment, with no cost-sharing for these specific supplements.
