Bill Summary
For legislation to further regulate the canceling of insurance coverage for non-payment of premiums. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 118E of the General Laws to add a new section that prohibits health insurance providers from canceling coverage due to non-payment of premiums until the insured is a full 90 days late. Furthermore, it mandates that providers must reinstate coverage if the insured pays all overdue premiums and cannot deny reinstatement once those payments are made. This aims to provide greater protection for individuals by giving them a longer grace period before their health insurance can be terminated for missed payments.
