After one year of this law being effect, all the insurers companies have to give the insured a clear cut summary of their coverage and benefits; the uniform, page is to be no longer than 4 pages, the font point no smaller than 12, they will be no fine print, and in language any typical American could understand, with any definitions that is needed. And if there is any modifications made or needed to be made the insured must be notified at least 60 days prior to their early affectivity. Failure to comply will result in a $1,000; also they will have to let that person know that the summary is not their actual contract. They should be no more co-pays for checkups and the following items must now be covered by insurance companies: Any items/services having a recommendation rating of A or B by the United States Preventative Services Task Force. Any immunization suggested by the Center for Disease Control's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. All preventative screenings for children and infants provided for by the Health Resources and Services Administration (reformdummy.wordpress.com).
Once the new law is in active the industry will have to start reporting what efforts that is been made to better the people's health or at least put some actual effort into doing so. They will have to show some kind of reports on quality, chronic disease management, care coordination, case management, and care compliance initiatives and medication. It is about time that something been put in place to monitor these things, for me I certainly feel good knowing someone's being held accountable for these things. What I am most happy for is that action is being taken to prevent hospital readmission after they have discharged a patient. .
