Summary

The bill would make individual and group health insurance policies provide the same benefits to people with epilepsy as to those without the condition. It also prohibits insurers from ending or refusing to renew coverage solely because a person has epilepsy, and mandates coverage for seizure‑prevention devices or surgeries when a specialist deems them medically necessary. The goal is to ensure fair treatment and reduce the risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).
