On Wednesday September 7, 2011 Representative Jon Richards Milwaukee and Senator Jon Erpenbach Middleton have introduced a Wisconsin Patient's Bill Of Rights. This bill preserves legislation being challenged at the federal level for residents of the State of Wisconsin.
The law would regulate companies that market health insurance to Wisconsin consumers by guaranteeing a consistent delivery of service with purchase. The list includes:
1. Prohibit health insurance companies from having annual or lifetime caps on benefits
2. Prohibits health insurance companies from denying payment for emergency care
3. Prohibits health insurance companies from charging for preventive care
4. Prohibits health insurance companies from denying payment due to preexisting condition
5. Prohibits health insurance companies from dropping coverage when patient gets sick
By incorporating these protections in to State of Wisconsin law citizens can be assured of an important level of care that is required to effectively preserve health and wellness. Health care providers at the point of service can properly perform the needed tasks, without fearing gaps in coverage. Health insurance products can become more understandable to the consumer.
