U.S. House Bill Seeks Parity in Prosthetic Coverage
Excerpt: "Group health insurers would be required to offer coverage for prosthetic devices and components, under legislation calling for new parity standards in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Introduced as H.R. 5615, the Prosthetic Parity Act asks that health plans offer prosthetic care coverage on par with other medical or surgical care deemed 'essential' to a patient's health, restricting the ability to establish separate dollar caps or restrictions for prostheses."
