# Indiana HB 1372 (2020) — Various insurance matters.
Requires a state employee health plan, a policy of accident and sickness insurance, and a health maintenance organization contract to provide coverage for pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS) and pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS), including treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. Makes changes in the law concerning the permissible investments of life insurance companies and casualty, fire, and marine insurance companies. Provides that an insurance administrator may pay claims via electronic payment. Exempts an individual from the prelicensing course, state license examination, and continuing education requirements for licensed independent adjusters if the individual holds a current claims certification issued by a national or state claims association whose certification program meets certain conditions. Provides that a multiple employer welfare arrangement may be established through an interlocal cooperation agreement. Adopts the insurance data security model law, which requires certain holders of an insurance license, authority, or registration to maintain an information security program and meet other requirements. Establishes an affirmative defense to a tort civil action for a licensee that satisfies the requirements of the insurance data security model law. Adopts a new model law on credit for reinsurance. Provides that a rejection of uninsured motorist coverage or underinsured motorist coverage in an underlying personal policy is also a rejection of uninsured motorist coverage or underinsured motorist coverage in a personal umbrella or excess liability policy. Urges the legislative council to assign to an appropriate interim study committee the task of studying medical payment coverage, including: (1) whether medical payment coverage should be supplemental to the benefits: (A) to which a covered individual is entitled under a health plan; and (B) that are the same as or similar to benefits available to the covered individual under the medical payment coverage; and (2) whether a health plan should be prohibited from requiring the use or exhaustion of medical payment coverage as a condition of payment of benefits under the health plan for health care services rendered to a covered individual.
