SB 200 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

HEALTH/ACC INSURANCE: Provides for out-of-state health insurance coverage when the governor declares a state of emergency. (gov sig) (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

This bill modifies an existing law to expand the list of specific medical treatments covered when a governor declares a state of emergency. It directly affects residents who need to seek care outside their home state during such emergencies by adding chemotherapy, radiotherapy, dialysis, and heart surgery to the list of covered services. The change ensures that these critical procedures are recognized under the same out-of-state coverage rules already in place for other treatments.
