This bill amends the Michigan Insurance Code of 1956 by updating the definitions related to health insurance. Specifically, it clarifies that "Health insurance" means insurance provided under a health insurance policy, replacing the previous phrasing. Additionally, the bill defines "Health insurance policy" as an expense-incurred hospital, medical, or surgical policy, certificate, or contract, while explicitly stating that it does not include policies that provide coverage only for excepted benefits as outlined in federal law (42 USC 300gg-91).

Furthermore, the enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of either Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 4207 from the 103rd Legislature. This ensures that the changes to the definitions of health insurance and health insurance policies are aligned with broader legislative efforts currently under consideration.
