Rule Details
| Rule Number: | 20-E07 |
| Title: | H-2020-03-E Coverage of COVID-19 Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention. |
| Type: | Emergency |
| Status: | Adopted |
| Agency: | Department of Financial Regulation |
| Legal Authority: | 8 V.S.A. ยง 15(a); and Act 91 of 2020. |
| Summary: | The rule expands health insurance coverage for and waives or limits cost-sharing requirements directly related to COVID-19 diagnosis, treatment, and prevention for fully-funded insurance plans. |
| Persons Affected: | Vermonters with fully-insured health plans; insurers providing such plans; Department of Vermont Health Access; Office of the Health Care Advocate; Vermont health care providers |
| Economic Impact: | The rule will financially benefit insured Vermonters by ensuring that they have no-cost access to COVID-19 diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. For Vermonters with high-deductible health plans who have not hit their yearly deductible, the benefit could be in the low four figures. The rule will cause financial impacts to health insurers who may no longer impose cost-sharing mechanisms that they otherwise would have. |
