  • Author: Subcommittee to Study Accident and Sickness Insurance Policies
  • Enabling Authority: House Resolution 37 (Regular Session, 1975)

Executive Summary:

During the 1975 Session of the General Assembly Delegate George R. Grayson introduced legislation requiring accident and sickness insurance policies to provide benefits for medical treatment received at  home. This legislation would require every policy of accident and sickness insurance issued in Virginia to contain a provision extending coverage to its insureds while convalescing at home, regardless of where they receive medical treatments. The proposed legislation did not pass. However, House Resolution No. 37 was passed, directing a study of accident and sickness insurance policies by the Committee on Corporations, Insurance and Banking to determine the feasibility of requiring accident and sickness insurance policies to provide benefits for treatment required at home and report to the Governor and General Assembly no later than December 1, 1975.
