Summary

Existing federal law, the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) , enacts various health care coverage market reforms that take effect January 1, 2014. Among other things, PPACA prohibits a health insurance issuer issuing health insurance coverage from establishing lifetime limits or unreasonable annual limits on the dollar value of benefits for any participant or beneficiary, as specified. Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care and makes a willful violation of the act a crime. That act does not apply to a plan directly operated by a bona fide public or private institution of higher learning that directly provides health care services only to its students, faculty, staff, administration, and their respective dependents. Existing law requires every health care service plan that issues, sells, renews, or offers contracts or policies for health care coverage in this state to comply, to the extent required by federal law, with the requirements of the above-described provision of PPACA and any rules or regulations issued under that provision. This bill would prohibit a plan directly operated by a bona fide public or private college or university that directly provides health care services only to its students, faculty, staff, administration, and their respective dependents from establishing an annual limit or a lifetime limit on the dollar value of essential health benefits, as defined, for any participant or beneficiary. Because a willful violation of these requirements with respect to those plans would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
