AN ACT RELATING TO INSURANCE -- ACCIDENT AND SICKNESS INSURANCE POLICIES

Summary

The bill forces health, hospital and medical expense insurers to pay for post‑acute services—like rehab or home care—for a minimum of seven days after a patient leaves the hospital, without needing pre‑approval. Hospitals must notify insurers before discharge, and medical necessity is decided by the treating doctor. This aims to speed access to needed follow‑up care.
