AI Generated Summary
This bill, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives, aims to change health insurance rules regarding office visits for infants, children, and adolescents. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate any cost-sharing (like copays or deductibles) for short office visits (15 minutes or less) that focus on providing evidence-informed preventive care and screenings for this age group, based on guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration. Additionally, if these conditions are met, health insurance companies won’t be allowed to prevent healthcare providers from billing separately for preventive services provided during these visits.
