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, providing for coverage for physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy; and establishing the Children's Therapies Medical Assistance Savings Account.
HB 1848 requires casualty insurance policies to cover physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy for injury-related care. This directly affects insured individuals, particularly families with children needing these therapies for accidents or injuries. The bill also establishes a state-administered Children's Therapies Medical Assistance Savings Account to help families pay for therapy costs not covered by insurance.
