Removing Insurance Gaps for Health Treatment (RIGHT) Act of 2025
To amend title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act to ensure the appropriate availability of short-term limited duration insurance.
Summary
This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to define short-term limited duration insurance as health insurance coverage that expires less than 12 months after the original effective date and has a total duration of not more than 3 years, including any renewals or extensions. The bill establishes this definition to clarify what types of health insurance policies qualify as short-term limited duration coverage under federal law. This appears to be part of legislation aimed at ensuring the appropriate availability of this type of temporary health insurance coverage.
