AN ACT REQUIRING CANCELLATION NOTICES OF PROPERTY OR CASUALTY INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR SENIORS.

Maddy summaryHB 6138 requires property and casualty insurance companies to send written notice to seniors (65+ years old) or their authorized representatives when their insurance coverage is at risk of cancellation or has been canceled. This bill directly affects older policyholders and their designated representatives by mandating clear, written communication about coverage changes. The key provision is the written notice requirement, which must be provided before or when cancellation occurs, ensuring seniors have timely information. It does not change insurance cancellation policies or standards, only adding a notification step for this specific group.

AN ACT REQUIRING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY FOLLOWING SKIN CANCER ON THE FACE.

The bill mandates that both individual and group health insurance policies include this coverage without requiring prior authorization or special approvals. This specifically applies to facial reconstruction following skin cancer treatment, not general cancer care or other types of surgery.

AN ACT REQUIRING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROGRAM FOR PROVIDING MEDICAID, MEDICARE AND HEALTH CARE COVERAGE FOR A NETWORK OF PAID OR VOLUNTEER ATTENDANTS TO ASSIST WITH THE TRANSPORTING OF PATIENTS WITH A PHYSICAL DISABILITY.

Maddy summaryHB 5765 requires the Department of Social Services to develop a program providing Medicaid, Medicare, and health care coverage for paid or volunteer attendants who assist patients with physical disabilities in transporting to medical appointments. The program would cover the specific task of helping patients move from their home to a vehicle and from a vehicle to the medical appointment location. This bill directly affects individuals with physical disabilities who need transport assistance for medical visits and the attendants (paid or volunteer) who would provide this service. The key mechanism is creating a structured coverage pathway for these transport services within existing health insurance systems, rather than establishing new benefits.

HealthcareSupports HealthcareBill mandates Medicaid/Medicare coverage for transport attendants, expanding healthcare access for disabled patients by covering a critical medical appointment barrier.95% confidence
