Enact the Fair Health Claims Act

Summary

The Fair Health Claims Act would prohibit health insurers from wrongfully denying, reducing, or terminating services that are covered under a health plan. Violations could force the insurer to pay the covered person double the amount wrongly denied, additional damages, and a civil penalty that can rise each year. The state insurance superintendent and attorney general would enforce the rules through hearings and lawsuits.
