SF 5 Wyoming House · 2024 Regular Session

Organ transplant recipient protection.

This bill prohibits Wyoming insurers from discriminating against organ transplant recipients in life and long-term care insurance. It bans insurers from denying coverage, canceling policies, increasing premiums, reducing benefits, or requiring recipients to forego transplants solely based on their transplant status. The law applies to all insurance policies sold in Wyoming after July 1, 2024, directly protecting transplant recipients from unfair treatment by insurers. It specifically ensures recipients cannot be penalized for their health condition when obtaining or maintaining coverage.
