Removes the requirement that Medicaid HMOs include in the evidence of coverage a statement entitling any Medicaid recipient or FAMIS participants to conversion of their coverage to an individual contract. The measure conforms the requirements for the explanation of benefits for Medicaid recipients and FAMIS participants to the standards prescribed in the state plan for medical assistance services and the FAMIS Plan. Statutory requirements will not apply to the extent such requirements differ from the Department of Medical Assistance Services' standards. A second enactment clause declares that an emergency exists and this measure will become effective upon passage.
