Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires health insurance plans and self-insured governmental health plans to allow a pregnant individual who is eligible for coverage under the plan, and any individual who is eligible for coverage under the plan because of a relationship to the pregnant individual, to enroll in the plan at any time during the pregnancy. Under the bill, the coverage must begin no later than the first day of the first calendar month in which the pregnant individual receives medical verification of the pregnancy, except that the pregnant individual may direct coverage to begin on the first day of any month occurring during the pregnancy. The bill also requires that insurers offering group health insurance coverage notify individuals of the special enrollment period at or before the time the individual is initially offered the opportunity to enroll in the plan.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
