Hello OandP-L colleagues,
I was reading a CNN Money article about some of the new healthcare
coverage changes that come into effect on Sept. 23... one of the bullet
points in the article said:
> *No lifetime limits on coverage:* Insurers no longer can impose
> lifetime dollar limits on essential benefits, like hospital stays or
> expensive treatments.
Would this apply to prosthetic and orthotic devices and services as
well? How do I find out more about this? I would love to get some
professional opinions, but without any inflammatory political stuff
attached to it.
Thanks in advance,
