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

Summary

The measure would make it illegal for insurers, health‑benefit plans, and nonprofit hospital service corporations to deny, limit, or otherwise treat people unfairly because of race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy, or other protected traits. It also requires these entities to give enrollees a clear notice of the nondiscrimination rules and a way to file grievances. The goal is to ensure all Rhode Islanders can access covered health services without bias.
