Down Syndrome Diagnosis Act

This bill requires health insurance plans to provide written information about Down syndrome outcomes and support resources within 60 days of a diagnosis. It directly affects individuals diagnosed with Down syndrome (or pregnant people receiving a fetal diagnosis) and their parents/guardians, as well as group health plans and individual insurance providers. The resources must include evidence-based, culturally appropriate information on physical and developmental outcomes, developed with medical and disability experts, plus contact details for Down syndrome support organizations like the National Down Syndrome Society. The requirement applies to all health plans starting January 1, 2024.
