HB 668 -- Health Insurance Coverage

Sponsor:  Deeken

This bill removes the age restriction on mandated coverage of
low-protein formula for persons suffering from Phenylketonuria
(PKU) or any inherited amino or organic acid disease for
insurance policies on or after September 1, 2005.  Currently,
this coverage is only for children under the age of six.  The
provisions that allow insurers to charge a copayment of up to 50%
of the cost of the formula and allow the Director of the
Department of Insurance to determine which limited health
insurance plans are exempt from the coverage mandate are removed.
