Description
Health insurance; plan management and rate review. Authorizes the State Corporation Commission (SCC), with assistance from the Virginia Department of Health, to perform plan management functions required to certify health benefit plans for participation in a federally facilitated health benefit exchange in Virginia. This obligation is contingent upon the availability of full funding, technology infrastructure being made available to the SCC, and there being no other impediments that effectively prevent the SCC from performing any required plan management functions. In addition, the SCC's obligation to perform plan management functions is contingent upon receiving federal funding sufficient to pay the operating expenses necessary to carry out the functions. The SCC may contract with and enter into memoranda of understanding to carry out its plan management functions with any state or federal agency. The measure also authorizes the SCC to review and approve accident and sickness insurance premium rates applicable to health benefit plans in the individual and small group markets and health benefit plans providing health insurance coverage in the individual market through certain non-employer group plans. The power to review and approve rates is a condition to the SCC being found to be an effective regulator of such rates. Finally, the measure authorizes the Virginia Department of Health to assist the SCC in carrying out the plan management functions. The measure will take effect upon its passage. Read the Bill »
