Most Pennsylvania health insurance companies will look at an applicant's health before they accept the applicant into a plan and set premiums. But the Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies are required to offer a guaranteed issue health plan, where every applicant is accepted.
Pennsylvania health insurance shoppers are also protected under the federal HIPAA, if they recently left a group health plan with an employer and meet other requirements. Insurers are required to accept all HIPAA-eligible residents and cannot restrict coverage.
Pennsylvania health insurance law also requires all health plans to cover these medical services:
- Mammograms and cervical cancer screening
- Diabetes care
- Post-delivery care for new mothers
- Vaccinations for children
Pennsylvania health insurance companies must also cover mental health conditions and physical health conditions equally.
