Bills set benchmark for California's health insurance coverage

SACRAMENTO -- Californians now have a clearer picture of what health insurance will look like when major provisions of the federal health care law debut in 2014.

Acupuncture to treat pain and nausea will be covered, for example, as will tobacco cessation and vision screening.

But the jury's still out on chiropractic care.

State lawmakers last week sent two bills to the governor that identify the services health insurance plans must cover starting in 2014 for individuals and small businesses.

The measures -- SB 951 by state Sen. Ed Hernandez D-West Covina, and AB 1453 by Assemblyman Bill Monning, D-Carmel -- define what are called "essential health benefits" under the federal health care overhaul and will fundamentally transform the kind of insurance Californians will buy.

"It's historic," said Monning. The bills, he said, will affect "the millions of Californians who have had limited coverage or no coverage who now will have access to coverage, and it will be comprehensive in nature. It will include preventive services, immunizations, hospitalization. The list goes on and on.
