Bill > H2238

This bill amends Chapter 32A, Section 3 of existing law to require the Group Insurance Commission (GIC), a state agency that provides health insurance plans for public employees and retirees, to hold public hearings before making any changes to the cost-sharing requirements for health benefits, such as copayments (the fixed amount paid for a covered healthcare service) or deductibles (the amount paid out-of-pocket before insurance starts to pay). This provision aims to increase transparency and public input in decisions that affect the benefits and costs for those covered by the GIC's plans.
