INSURANCE/HEALTH: Requires insurance coverage of home visiting services for newborns and young children (EN NO IMPACT See Note)
HB 382 requires health insurance plans to cover home visiting services for newborns and young children. This directly affects parents or caregivers of infants and toddlers, as well as insurance companies that must now include these services in their coverage. The key provision mandates that insurers provide this benefit without additional out-of-pocket costs to families, ensuring access to early developmental support. The bill amends specific insurance code language (R.S. 22:1059.6) to implement this requirement, with no significant fiscal impact noted.

MODERATE
This bill was finalized and enrolled into law, changing its status from a draft proposal to an official Act. The core policy requirements remain largely the same, mandating health insurance coverage for home visiting services for newborns and young children to improve maternal and infant health outcomes.
Scope change
The bill's scope is now legally binding as 'Act No. 190', replacing the original draft version. The substantive requirements for insurance coverage and program eligibility are preserved, though the text was reorganized for clarity.
TECHNICAL
The document title and header were updated from 'HB382 Original' to 'HB382 ENROLLED' and 'ACT No. 190', indicating the bill has passed all legislative stages and is now law.
Formatting inconsistencies in the original draft, such as page number references and header styles, were standardized to match official legislative formatting.
REQUIREMENT
Minor text reordering and renumbering occurred within the statutory sections to improve flow, but the specific mandates for insurance coverage (e.g., at least one visit in the first three months, up to five total visits) remained identical.
TIMELINE
The effective date for new policies and contracts was retained as January 1, 2027, with existing plans required to conform by January 1, 2028.
