480 contract of coverage provided by the health maintenance
481 organization and notify the subscribers and the office at least
482 30 days before program termination.
483 (b) File a description of the program on a form prescribed
484 by commission rule. The office must review the filing and
485 determine whether the shared savings incentive program complies
486 with this section.
487 (c) Notify a subscriber annually and at the time of
488 renewal, and an applicant for coverage at the time of
489 enrollment, of the availability of the shared savings incentive
490 program and the procedure to participate in the program.
491 (d) Publish on a webpage easily accessible to subscribers
492 and to applicants for coverage a list of shoppable health care
493 services and health care providers and the shared savings
494 incentive amount applicable for each service. A shared savings
495 incentive may not be less than 25 percent of the savings
496 generated by the subscriber’s participation in any shared
497 savings incentive offered by the health maintenance
498 organization. The baseline for the savings calculation is the
499 average in-network amount paid for that service in the most
500 recent 12-month period or some other methodology established by
501 the health maintenance organization and approved by the office.
502 (e) At least quarterly, credit or deposit the shared
503 savings incentive amount to the subscriber’s account as a return
504 or reduction in premium, or credit the shared savings incentive
505 amount to the subscriber’s flexible spending account, health
506 savings account, or health reimbursement account, such that the
507 amount does not constitute income to the subscriber.
508 (f) Submit an annual report to the office within 90
509 business days after the close of each plan year. At a minimum,
510 the report must include the following information:
511 1. The number of subscribers who participated in the
512 program during the plan year and the number of instances of
513 participation.
514 2. The total cost of services provided as a part of the
515 program.
516 3. The total value of the shared savings incentive payments
517 made to subscribers participating in the program and the values
518 distributed as premium reductions, credits to flexible spending
519 accounts, credits to health savings accounts, or credits to
520 health reimbursement accounts.
521 4. An inventory of the shoppable health care services
522 offered by the health maintenance organization.
523 (4) A shared savings incentive offered by a health
524 maintenance organization in accordance with this section:
525 (a) Is not an administrative expense for rate development
526 or rate filing purposes.
527 (b) Does not constitute an unfair method of competition or
528 an unfair or deceptive act or practice under s. 641.3903 and is
529 presumed to be appropriate unless credible data clearly
530 demonstrates otherwise.
531 (5) The commission may adopt rules necessary to implement
532 and enforce this section.
533 Section 8. The Division of State Group Insurance within the
534 Department of Management Services is directed to analyze the
535 efficiency and effectiveness of providing health coverage by
536 health maintenance organizations to enrollees participating in
537 the state group insurance program on a county basis, on a
538 regional basis, and on a statewide basis. Not later than January
539 1, 2020, the division shall recommend to the Governor, the

543 coverage for the 2023 plan year.
544 Section 9. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
545 act, this act shall take effect July 1, 2019.
