Description
Noncompliant health benefit plans. Authorizes a health carrier to continue offering, issuing, issuing for delivery, delivering, selling, or renewing any health benefit plan that provides the same coverage, limits, conditions, restrictions, and benefits as a health benefit plan that the State Corporation Commission had approved prior to July 1, 2013. The measure also directs the Secretary of Health and Human Resources (HHR) to obtain from the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services a waiver from the requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in order to have all federal funds allocated for navigators in the Commonwealth be paid into the general fund and to allow the Secretary of HHR to establish criteria for, select, and award grants to navigators for the Commonwealth.
