Title
Insurance, health, Alabama Health Insurance Plan, authorized to cease operation, transfer of funds to State General Fund, Sec. 27-52-1 am'd.
Description

Under existing law, the Alabama Health Insurance Plan was created to comply with the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to provide guaranteed-issue health insurance to eligible persons in this state.

This bill would authorize the Alabama Health Insurance Plan to cease operations if the market reforms provided in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act satisfy the guaranteed-issue requirements of HIPAA.

The bill would also provide that, after liabilities of the plan are satisfied, unspent and unencumbered funds of the plan would be transferred to the State General Fund.
