This bill died with 2013-2014 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

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. Existing law provides for the regulation of health insurers by the Department of Insurance. Existing law requires health care service plans, for large group plan contracts, and health insurers, for large group health insurance policies, at least 60 days in advance of a rate change, to file with the respective departments all specified rate information for unreasonable rate increases and, with that filing, to disclose specified aggregate data. This bill would instead require the plans and insurers to disclose specified aggregate data for products and for rate filings, as specified, in the large group market on an annual basis. The bill would also require a health plan or health insurer that exclusively contracts with no more than 2 medical groups in the state to provide claims or other data to large group purchasers that request the data and demonstrate the ability to comply with privacy laws, as specified, and would require the health care service plan or health insurer to use only deidentified data in those disclosures, as specified, to protect the privacy rights of individuals. Because a willful violation of the bill's requirements would be a crime, this 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.
