HB5242

West Virginia HB5242 prohibits insurers from declining or limiting coverage on individuals based on their status as living organ donors.

West Virginia HB5242, the State Living Donor Protection Act, aims to prevent insurers from discriminating against individuals who are living organ donors. The bill prohibits insurers from declining or limiting coverage on any life insurance policy, major medical coverage policy, disability insurance policy, or long-term care insurance policy based solely on the person's status as a living organ donor. It also prevents insurers from precluding an insured from donating all or part of an organ as a condition of continuing to receive coverage.
