Memorandum
Senate Bill 478, if enacted, would provide for mandatory insurance coverage for mitochondrial disease.
Senate Bill 478 does not appear to have direct fiscal impact on the operations, revenues or expenses of the Offices of the Insurance Commissioner.
SB478 does not contain language limiting the insurance benefits provided under the bill to the essential health benefits (EHB) specified under section 130(b) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
PPACA 1311 (d)(3) provides that a state must defray the cost by direct payment to enrollees or to the Plan of any state mandated benefit in excess of the EHB.
To the extent that the health insurance benefits required by SB478 do not fall within the EHB, a potential cost to the State exists.
PEIA and DHHR should be consulted regarding the potential fiscal impact of SB 478.
