SB 1253 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 40 (Insurance) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for electronic notice of insurance practices.

This bill allows insurance companies in Pennsylvania to send certain notices and documents to customers via email or other electronic methods instead of traditional mail. To use this option, insurers must first get clear permission from individuals or their plan sponsors and must inform them of their right to receive paper copies or withdraw consent at any time. The law ensures that electronic delivery is treated as legally equivalent to sending mail and includes protections for personal health information. It also clarifies that these rules do not apply to health plans governed by federal employee retirement laws.
