HB 1902 – Washington

Status: Inactive / Dead
Year Introduced: 2019
Link: https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1902&Year=2019&initiative=

PROMOTING CONSUMER EASE, ADMINISTRATIVE SIMPLIFICATION, AND COST EFFICIENCY BY REQUIRING A SINGLE BILL FOR HEALTH SERVICES COVERED BY A QUALIFIED HEALTH PLAN. Washington has achieved full compliance with this requirement by requiring health carriers to submit a single invoice to enrollees and to segregate into a separate account the premium amounts attributable to coverage of abortion services for which federal funding is prohibited. This approach has eased the administrative burden on enrollees and carriers, decreased costs, and prevented consumer confusion while preserving the constitutionally protected right to safe and legal medical abortion care.
