TRACK BILL

Basic Description:

HIPAA Recreational Injury Technical Correction Act - Amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Public Health Service Act, and the Internal Revenue Code to prohibit a group health plan or health insurance issuer offering group health coverage from denying benefits or coverage otherwise provided under the plan for the treatment of an injury solely because it resulted from participation in a legal mode of transportation or recreational activity.

In basic terms is closes an existing loophole that allows group medical insurance companies to deny coverage on injuries related to the use of "recreational vehicles, including motorcycles.

 Effects ALL Vehicles Classified as Recreational
