AN ACT relating to health care; requiring health insurers to allow the covered adult child of an insured to remain cover
Existing federal law requires all health insurers to extend coverage for the covered adult child of an insured until such child reaches 26 years of age. (42 U.S.C. § 300gg-14) Sections 2, 17, 31, 44, 46, 60, 74, 79, 90, 104 and 106 of this bill align Nevada law with federal law in this manner and require a policy of health insurance that provides coverage for dependent children to continue to make such coverage available until the dependent child reaches 26 years of age. Existing federal law requires all health insurance plans to include coverage, without a higher deductible, copay or coinsurance, for certain preventive health care for women, adults and children based on the recommendations and guidelines of certain entities, including the United States Preventive Services Task Force and the Health Resources and Services Administration of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. (42 U.S.C. § 300gg-13; 45 C.F.R. § 147.130) Existing Nevada law generally conforms with federal law in this manner and requires public and private policies of health insurance, including Medicaid, to cover certain preventive health care, including certain screenings, counseling, vaccinations and contraceptive and other family planning drugs and devices. (NRS 287.010, 287.04335, 422.27172, 422.27174, 608.1555, 689A.0418, 689A.0419, 689B.0378, 689B.03785, 689C.1676, 689C.1678, 695A.1865, 695A.1875, 695B.1919, 695B.19195, 695C.1696, 695C.1698, 695G.1715, 695G.1717) Sectio
