|
|
This bill may
encourage health insurance carriers to cover specialized risk screenings for
first responders in order to avoid potential legal exposure by establishing a
rebuttal presumption when health insurance carriers fail to exercise ordinary
care when making health care treatment decisions for first responders seeking
preventive care. This will potentially increase costs to the State Employee
Health Plan. A more precise estimate of the fiscal impact is not possible at
this time. |
