HB 317 Group health insurance; enrollment opportunities.
Introduced by: Jennifer L. McClellan | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Group health insurance; enrollment opportunities. Requires group health insurance policies, health services plans, and health care plans to offer enrollment opportunities for employees and dependents who are eligible for coverage under, but not enrolled in, such policies or plans upon their (i) losing eligibility for coverage under the Commonwealth's Medicaid or FAMIS program or (ii) becoming eligible for premium assistance under either program. In order to enroll, the employee or dependent must request coverage within 60 days of being terminated from coverage under the state program or 60 days of becoming eligible for premium assistance. Employers providing such policies or group plans are required to notify employees of their potential eligibility for premium assistance under these state programs and to disclose to the Department of Medical Assistance Services, upon request, information to permit the Department to determine the cost-effectiveness of any premium assistance provided. The measure implements certain provisions of the federal Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, and applies to corporations issuing subscription contracts, health maintenance organizations, and insurers.
