Introduced by: Harvey B. Morgan | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Accident and sickness insurance; group policies; notification to employees upon termination of coverage. Requires employers who (i) assume all or part of the cost of their employees’ health insurance, or (ii) provide a facility for deducting the health insurance premium amount from their employees’ salaries and remitting such premium to the health insurer, to give written notice to employees in the event of termination of the insurance not later than 15 days after the termination of a self-insured plan or not later than 15 days after receipt of a notice of termination of an insurance plan. Any employer who fails to remit funds collected from an employee to the insurer or plan may be subject to civil suit for any medical expenses the employee may become liable for as a result of the employer letting such coverage be terminated. When coverage is terminated due to the nonpayment of premium by the employer, the insurer or health plan may not terminate coverage until the employer has been provided with a written notice of the termination date, which must not be less than 15 days from the mailing of the notice.
