Insurance notices; electronic delivery. Authorizes a health carrier to deliver electronically to any of its policyholders, subscribers, or enrollees or to post to the health carrier's publicly available website, in lieu of any other method of delivery, any evidence of coverage or other forms required to be given to policyholders, subscribers, and enrollees that do not contain personally identifiable information. The evidence of coverage and associated forms are required to be readily available to download using publicly available software at no cost. The carrier is required to notify the policyholder, subscriber, or enrollee that he may request a paper copy of the evidence of coverage and associated forms without charge. The measure also repeals a clause that would have sunset on December 31, 2016, that (i) makes the notification to an insurer of any change of the electronic address for the named insured the sole responsibility of the named insured and (ii) states that giving notice of change of the named insured's electronic address to the agent of record shall not be deemed to be notice to the insurer unless it is specifically identified as a change and receipt has been accepted by the agent of record.

Insurance policies; electronic delivery of information to policyholder, etc.

Del. Kathy Byron [R]
