Bill > S1352

This bill modifies existing laws concerning municipal health care markets, specifically chapter 32B of the General Laws, by changing the withdrawal intervals for subscribers from a commission. Previously, withdrawals could occur at 3 or 6-year intervals, but this bill changes the initial withdrawal period to 3 years, with annual withdrawals permitted thereafter, and also shifts the relevant date for these changes from October to December. Additionally, the bill mandates that the commission, which likely refers to a governmental or quasi-governmental entity managing these health care plans, must maintain separate claims history files for each political subdivision (like towns or cities) and provide them with comprehensive annual claims data upon written request from authorized officials, including monthly claims and enrollment history, large loss claims, benefit changes, and census data by gender and zip code, with a fee not exceeding $1,000 for this service and a 60-day response time.
