This bill would change three federal laws that govern health insurance so that newborns get automatic coverage under a parent's plan. Group health plans and insurers selling group or individual coverage would have to cover a parent's newborn for 30 days after birth for any service the plan already covers. Plans would also have to offer a special enrollment period of at least 60 days after those 30 days so parents can sign up the newborn. If a plan receives a claim for care given to a newborn who is not enrolled, it would have to notify the parent right away. These rules would apply to plan years beginning on or after the date the bill becomes law.
