Bill > SB2733

This bill aims to expand guaranteed issue rights for Mississippians who are eligible for Medicare, meaning they will have a guaranteed opportunity to purchase a Medicare supplement policy without being denied or charged more due to their health status. This applies when they lose, have a significant reduction in, or voluntarily end their creditable health insurance coverage, such as employer-sponsored group health insurance or Medicaid. The Mississippi Commissioner of Insurance is tasked with creating the necessary rules and regulations to ensure insurance companies comply with these new requirements, facilitating a smooth transition from employer coverage to Medicare supplement coverage. This act will become effective on July 1, 2026.
