Bill overview
This bill aims to ensure that health insurance policies in West Virginia cover treatment for stuttering, specifically habilitative speech therapy. It mandates that policies, including those offered by health maintenance organizations, provide coverage for this therapy regardless of whether the stuttering is considered developmental. The bill also removes restrictions like annual benefit limits, limitations based on the cause of stuttering, and utilization review requirements, and allows for telehealth coverage. It extends this coverage to school-age children up to the age of 18.
