AZ HB2739

Repeals and replaces section 20-123 of Arizona Revised Statutes to establish comprehensive health insurance requirements for individual plans, short-term limited duration insurance, and small employer group plans.

Requires health care insurers to cover ten categories of essential health benefits including ambulatory services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity care, mental health services, prescription drugs, rehabilitation services, laboratory services, preventive care, and pediatric services.

Prohibits insurers from denying coverage based on health status, imposing preexisting condition exclusions, canceling plans based on health status, using health status to set premiums, or imposing annual or lifetime dollar limits on essential health benefits.

Mandates coverage of preventive care without cost sharing when recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force, the CDC's immunization advisory committee, or the federal Health Resources and Services Administration.

Requires dependent coverage for adult children until the end of the calendar year in which they turn 26 years old, and amends section 20-1384 to clarify short-term limited duration insurance exemptions from state health coverage mandates.
