AZ SB1287

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 20-1133 to require guaranteed availability of medicare supplement insurance coverage to all eligible individuals.

Prohibits insurers from declining coverage, denying enrollment, imposing preexisting condition exclusions, or charging additional premiums based on preexisting conditions for medicare supplement policies.

Clarifies that mandated health insurance benefits do not apply to medicare supplement policies unless specifically set forth in rules adopted by the director or expressly stated in statute.

Extends regulatory requirements for medicare supplement insurance to coverage provided under disability insurance policies, service corporation contracts, fraternal benefit societies, and health care services organizations.

Requires the director to adopt rules compliant with federal law (Social Security Disability Amendments of 1980) with sufficient time for insurers to comply before the rules take effect.
