Summary

Existing law establishes the California Health Benefit Exchange (Exchange) for the purpose of facilitating the purchase of qualified health plans by qualified individuals and qualified small employers by January 1, 2014. Existing law requires the board of the Exchange to inform individuals of eligibility requirements for state or local public programs and to enroll eligible individuals in those programs, as specified, and to perform duties relating to determining eligibility for premium tax credits, among other things. Existing law also requires the Exchange to establish the Small Business Health Options Program to assist qualified small employers in facilitating the enrollment of their employees in qualified health plans offered through the Exchange in the small employer market. This bill would prohibit the Small Business Health Options Program from informing an eligible employee or dependent thereof about, or screening that employee or dependent for eligibility for, a premium tax credit, the Medi-Cal program, the Healthy Families Program, or any other state or local public program.
