SB 615

This bill provides that a person who has an individual medicare supplement

insurance policy may cancel that policy and purchase a new policy at any time.

Under the bill, if a person cancels his or her individual medicare supplement policy,

then the provider of that policy must allow the insured to continue coverage until the

first day of the second month following the month in which the policy is cancelled.

An insurer may not deny coverage under, condition the issuance of, or discriminate

in the price of the replacement policy based on the health status, claims experience,

receipt of health care, or medical condition of the insured.

This proposal may contain a health insurance mandate requiring a social and

financial impact report under s. 601.423, stats.
