Pennsylvania SB610 ensures dependents on health insurance policies can request confidential communication for health care services.

Pennsylvania SB610 amends the Insurance Company Law of 1921 to mandate that health insurance policies and government programs offered in the state include policies and procedures to protect the confidentiality of dependents' health care information. Dependents can request confidential communication methods, such as sending information to an alternate address or withholding communication until an alternative method is requested. The bill also requires insurers to develop a standardized form for these requests and implement an appeals process for claim denials.
