UtahUtah leaders encourage better POTS diagnosis for children and teens
Utah’s Legislature and governor encourage the medical community to improve POTS diagnosis, especially for children and teens, and insurers to address gaps in coverage.
What it does
The Legislature and governor encourage the medical community to improve awareness, education, and diagnosis of POTS, particularly for children and teens.
Insurers are encouraged to provide coverage that addresses gaps in access to POTS diagnosis and treatment, but the resolution does not require them to do so.
Argument forMore provider awareness and education could help children and teens with POTS get recognized and diagnosed sooner.
