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 for dyslexia.
SB 967 requires most health insurance policies in Pennsylvania to cover diagnostic testing for dyslexia under specific conditions, such as family history, school literacy screening failures, or a pediatrician's recommendation. It mandates coverage for comprehensive neuropsychological exams and related wellness plans, but caps annual benefits at $6,000 (adjusted for inflation), and excludes policies like accident-only, dental, or vision insurance. The law applies to individual and group health plans governed by Pennsylvania insurance regulations, directly affecting insurers and individuals meeting the eligibility criteria. It does not cover treatment, only diagnosis and screening as defined in the bill.
