Health care coverage: preventive health services: tobacco cessation.

Abstract

Existing law, the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) , enacts various health care coverage market reforms. With respect to plan years beginning on and after September 23, 2010, the act requires health insurance issuers to provide coverage, and not impose cost-sharing requirements, for certain preventive health services. PPACA also requires each state to, by January 1, 2014, establish an American Health Benefit Exchange that facilitates the purchase of qualified health plans by qualified individuals and qualified small employers, as specified. Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care and makes a violation of the act a crime. Existing law provides for the regulation of health insurers by the Department of Insurance. Existing law requests the University of California to establish the California Health Benefits Review Program to assess legislation proposing to mandate a benefit or service and legislation proposing to repeal a mandated benefit or service, as specified. This bill would require certain health care service plan contracts and health insurance policies issued, amended, renewed, or delivered on or after September 23, 2010, to provide coverage, and not impose cost-sharing requirements, for certain preventive health services consistent with federal law. The bill would also require certain health care service plan contracts and health insurance policies issued, amended, renewed, or delivered on or after January 1, 2011, to provide coverage for tobacco cessation treatment that includes specified courses of treatment and medication. The bill would request the University of California, as part of the California Health Benefits Review Program, to prepare a report regarding any state savings as a result of this coverage requirement. The bill would make the coverage requirement inoperative upon a determination that it will result in the state assuming additional costs, as specified. Because a willful violation of the bill's provisions relative to health care service plans would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
