What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
