Individual accident and sickness insurance; open enrollment program. Repeals the requirement that a health insurer that is, or is successor to, a health services plan provide an open enrollment program for individual accident and sickness contracts. Under the open enrollment program, an individual may purchase a product at any time during the year, with the caveat that the individual serve a 12-month waiting period before services are covered for any preexisting condition. The requirement for such an open enrollment program is inconsistent with guaranteed issue provisions of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that prohibit waiting periods for coverage for preexisting conditions and that provide for limited open enrollment periods. The measure also eliminates certain provisions that set a tax rate of 0.75 percent on premiums from policies sold under the open enrollment program, and for taxable years 2013 and thereafter the tax rate will be 2.25 percent. The measure will become effective January 1, 2014.

Accident and sickness insurance, individual; open enrollment program.

Sen. John Watkins [R]
