A California proposal seeks to penalize insurers who repeatedly deny care they shouldn’t.
The measure could be one of the boldest attempts in the nation to rein in health insurer denials.
California could become one of only a handful of states that require insurers to disclose denial rates and reasoning.
If passed, the measure would cover roughly 12.8 million Californians on private insurance.
It would not apply to patients on Medi-Cal , the state’s Medicaid program, or Medicare .
Wiener 's bill grew out of a narrower proposal that failed last year aimed at improving mental health coverage for children and adults under age 26 .
