SCS/SB 906 - Under this act, health carriers may offer as
an option, one or more health benefit plans which contain
deductibles, coinsurance, coinsurance differentials, or
variable copayments. Nothing in this act, however, shall
relieve or be construed as exempting a health carrier from
providing or covering any mandated health insurance benefit
required by Chapter 376, RSMo. The optional health benefit
plans offered by this act shall not contain a deductible for
any mandated health insurance benefit required by Chapter 376,
RSMo. Coverage and benefits provided by such policies for
mandated health insurance benefits shall be at least as
favorable and subject to the same dollar limits and copayments
as other covered benefits or services.
