Description
Navigator regulation. Creates registration and reporting procedures for health care insurance navigators. The measure prohibits a person from acting as or holding himself out to be a navigator unless he registers with the State Corporation Commission and meets certain requirements that include having a high school diploma or general equivalency diploma and passing a state and federal criminal history background check. A person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor involving fraud or dishonesty or any felony shall not be registered as a navigator. The Commission may deny, suspend, or revoke a registration of a navigator if he is charged with a felony or a misdemeanor involving fraud or dishonesty, if the Commission receives credible reports that the navigator has provided false or fraudulent information to consumers, or person has engaged in intentional or negligent conduct that has resulted in the release of a consumer's personally identifiable information. The measure prohibits navigators from selling, soliciting, or negotiating insurance when assisting individuals with enrollment or any other navigator activities or duties through a health care exchange. Navigators and their administrative staff are required to secure personal health information in accordance with health care industry standards. Finally, the measure requires the Commission to maintain a website for the purpose of providing the public with a complete list of all currently registered navigators. Read the Bill »
