Bill > H0275

This bill establishes enhanced short-term health insurance plans. The key provisions include: 1. Defining "enhanced short-term plan" as an individual health benefit plan with an initial period of less than 12 months that is renewable at the option of the individual for up to a number of months established by the director's rules. 2. Requiring the director to adopt rules to establish specific standards for enhanced short-term plans, including requirements for renewability consistent with federal law and potentially covering the scope of benefits, restrictions on premium rate increases, and conversion to fully renewable coverage. 3. Allowing the director to terminate the renewability of an enhanced short-term plan if the plan has reached the limit of renewability established in the director's rules, but requiring the carrier to offer the individual the opportunity to reapply for coverage in accordance with the director's rules.
