Pennsylvania HB1828 mandates health insurance coverage for immunizations, exempting those with religious freedom protections.
Pennsylvania HB1828 requires health insurance policies to cover immunizations, prohibiting cost-sharing for these services. Exemptions apply for those exercising religious freedom protections. The Department of Health can add or remove immunizations from coverage based on medical evidence and public health impact. Insurers must cover immunizations from out-of-network providers if no in-network provider is available. The bill also outlines enforcement mechanisms, including fines and penalties for non-compliance.
