HD36 - House Bill 178 (1990) and Section 38.2-3411 of the Code of Virginia Regarding the Mandated Coverage of Newborn Children
Executive Summary: House Bill 178 (Appendix A), a proposed revision of Section 38.2-3411 of the Code of Virginia, was introduced in 1990 by Delegate Clifton A. Woodrum (D-Roanoke) at the request of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Virginia (BCBSVA). House Bill 178 was referred to the House Committee on Corporations, Insurance and Banking (CIB) in 1990 and was carried over for consideration during the 1991 Session. In 1991, CIB took no action on the bill and referred it to the Special Advisory Commission on Mandated Health Insurance Benefits (Advisory Commission) for evaluation. In addition to its review of House Bill 178, the Advisory Commission has concurrently evaluated § 38.2-3411 as part of its review of all existing mandated benefits pursuant to § 9-298. Comments regarding the existing statute and the proposed revision were received from five interested parties at a public hearing held on September 16, 1991 at 10:30 a.m. in Senate Room A of the General Assembly Building in Richmond. Written comments were received from numerous individuals and organizations. Additional comments were received at subsequent meetings as the Advisory Commission continued its deliberations. The Advisory Commission concluded its review on September 14, 1992. |
