Relative to the cancellation of certain health insurance policies. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 175, Section 100H, to allow individuals aged sixty-five or older who have health insurance policies to designate another person to receive notification sixty days before their policy is canceled. If the insurance company fails to notify this designated person, the policy will remain active until the notification is sent or for ninety days after the insured person turns sixty-five, whichever happens sooner, providing an additional layer of protection for older policyholders.
