RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 112 (HB 408) 2019 Regular Session Davis
Relative to health insurance, prior law required insurers to provide notice of policy renewals
to employer groups who were comprised of 100 or more enrolled employees.
New law expands prior law to require insurers to provide notice of policy renewals to all
large employer groups, as defined by existing law, who have employees enrolled for
insurance coverage or to the employer group's appointed insurance agent or broker.
Prior law authorized an employer group, no later than 80 days prior to the date of renewal
or termination, to make written request, by certified mail, to the group insurance issuer for
the currently available utilization data and aggregate paid claims and premium data
accumulated for the period of the current policy year and required the health insurance issuer
to provide this data to the employer group within 14 business days of receipt of the request.
New law requires the group insurance issuer to provide, upon request by the employer group
or the employer group's appointed insurance agent or broker, the currently available
utilization data and aggregate paid claims and premium data accumulated for the period of
the current policy year to the employer group or the agent or broker within 14 business days
of receipt of the initial request and monthly thereafter.
Effective August 1, 2019.
