The bill would require group health plans and health insurers to cover a participant’s or beneficiary’s newborn for 30 days after birth for services otherwise covered by the plan. It would also require at least a 60-day special enrollment period after that coverage period and immediate notice when a claim is received for an unenrolled newborn. The changes would apply to plan years beginning on or after enactment and would amend the Public Health Service Act, ERISA, and the Internal Revenue Code.
