Description
Health insurance; business practices. Prohibits the issuance, delivery, sale, or negotiation of an accident and sickness insurance policy, subscription contract for a health services plan, or health care plan, which provides for premiums to be paid on a monthly or other period basis, to require that the policyholder pay premiums in advance for future periods, as a condition to reinstatement of the policy, contract, or plan. Issuers of such policies, contracts, or plans shall not refuse to permit a policyholder to reinstate a policy, contract, or plan on the basis of the policyholder's claims experience or history of premium payments. The measure also requires that individual and group health policies, contracts, and plans include a grace period of not less than 90 days for the payment of any premium, except for the first premium.
