ancillary procedures needed to provide a product or service that the policy or plan is
required to cover under state law. Examples of products or services that policies and
plans are required to cover under current state law include home care, skilled
nursing care, kidney disease treatment, equipment and supplies for diabetes
treatment, mammograms, maternity coverage, lead poisoning screening,
temporomandibular disorder treatment, autism spectrum disorder treatment,
breast reconstruction, immunizations, hearing aids and cochlear implants,
colorectal cancer screening, and contraceptives.
This proposal may contain a health insurance mandate requiring a social and
financial impact report under s. 601.423, stats.
