What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits health insurance policies, plans, or contracts from

excluding coverage of the services of various types of health care providers within the

scope of their licenses, including chiropractors, dentists, optometrists, and nurse

practitioners, if those services are covered when provided by another type of health

care provider. This bill prohibits a health insurance policy, plan, or contract from

excluding or refusing to cover services provided by an athletic trainer within the

scope of the athletic trainer's license if the policy, plan, or contract covers those

services when provided by another type of health care provider. The bill also amends

the definition of “physical activity” for purposes of defining the scope of athletic

training to mean participation in exercise, sports, games, recreation, wellness,

fitness, or employment activities.

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

financial impact report under s. 601.423, stats.
