Summary

(1) 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 also provides for the regulation of health insurers by the Insurance Commissioner. Existing law requires a health care service plan or a health insurer offering individual plan contracts or individual insurance policies to fairly and affirmatively offer, market, and sell certain individual contracts and policies to all federally eligible defined individuals, as defined, in each service area in which the plan or insurer provides or arranges for the provision of health care services. Existing law prohibits the premium for those policies and contracts from exceeding the premium paid by a subscriber of the California Major Risk Medical Insurance Program who is of the same age and resides in the same geographic region as the federally eligible defined individual, as specified. This bill would make these provisions of law applicable only to individual grandfathered health plans, as defined, previously issued to federally eligible defined individuals, unless and until specified provisions of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) are amended or repealed, as specified. The bill would also require a health care service plan or an insurer, at least 60 days prior to the plan or policy renewal date, to issue prescribed notifications to a person who is enrolled in an individual health benefit plan or individual health insurance policy that is not a grandfathered health plan. The bill would also impose the notification requirement for individuals who are covered under the California Major Risk Medical Insurance Program. Because a willful violation of this requirement by a health care service plan would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) Existing law establishes a formula establishing the upper limit for premium charges for health care plans and health insurance. Existing law authorizes the plan and insurer to adjust the premium based on family size, as specified. This bill, after January 1, 2014, and until January 1, 2020, instead of the current formula, would limit the premium charged for coverage provided in 2014 to the rate charged in 2013 multiplied by 1.09 and would limit the rate of growth thereafter, as specified. (3) Existing law requires a health care service plan or health insurer to offer continuation or conversion of individual or group coverage for a specified period of time and under certain circumstances. The bill would make those provisions inoperative, unless and until specified provisions of PPACA are amended or repealed, as specified, and would make conforming changes. (4) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 10785 of the Insurance Code proposed by AB 1391, that would become operative only if AB 1391 and this bill are both chaptered and become effective on or before January 1, 2014, and this bill is chaptered last. (5) 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. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
