This bill changes the definition of "covered services" under limited health benefit plans, specifically excluding certain services and materials from that definition when the only reason they would not be reimbursed is that the enrollee has reached their annual benefit limit. It also prohibits plan contracts from including waivers of these rules, and the changes would apply to new or renewed contracts after the law takes effect. Who it may affect: Kentuckians enrolled in limited health service benefit plans.
