HB 2563 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

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, further providing for conditions subject to which policies are to be issued and for health insurance coverage for certain children of insured parents.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's insurance laws to expand health coverage for adult children of policyholders. It requires health insurance policies to keep covering children up to age 26 without denying them based on factors like marital status, residency, or employment. Additionally, the law allows insurers to offer continued coverage until age 29 for unmarried adult children who are full-time students or residents, provided they meet specific eligibility requirements. These changes primarily affect individuals purchasing or renewing health insurance plans and the insurance companies that issue them.
