Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Title 33 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to insurance, so as to provide for the disclosure of certain items in declarations pages and premium billing notices; to provide for transparency with regard to deductibles, premiums, premium taxes, fees, charges, and surcharges; to provide for related matters; to provide for an effective date and applicability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill requires that for any health insurance policy issued, delivered, or renewed in Georgia, the declarations page and premium billing notice must clearly show specific financial details. These details include the policy's deductible as both a dollar amount and a percentage, the annual premium amount, state insurance premium tax as a dollar amount and percentage, county and municipal taxes on insurance companies also as a dollar amount and percentage, and any other fees, charges, or surcharges. This change aims to increase transparency for policyholders regarding the costs associated with their insurance. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2027, and will apply to policies issued or renewed on or after that date.
