Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Insurance Code. Provides that it is an unfair or deceptive practice to issue a new policy within an individual health insurance market after notice of withdrawal from that market has been given if that coverage was among the types of coverage for which notice of withdrawal was given. Amends the Illinois Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Provides that a health insurance issuer may not discontinue coverage in an individual market in Illinois if a parent health insurance issuer that owns that health insurance issuer in whole or in part or a subsidiary health insurance issuer that is owned in whole or in part by that health insurance issuer continues selling health insurance in that market. Provides that a modification of coverage by a health insurance issuer is not uniform if a parent health insurance issuer that owns that health insurance issuer in whole or in part or a subsidiary health insurance issuer that is owned in whole or in part by that health insurance issuer does not make the same modification of coverage. Provides that if a health insurance issuer elects to uniformly modify coverage, uniformly terminate coverage, or discontinue coverage in a marketplace, the issuer shall provide notice to the Department of Insurance prior to notifying the plan sponsors, participants, beneficiaries, and covered individuals. Specifies information that shall be included in the notice. Adds a severability clause.
