CT state seal STATE OF CONNECTICUT INSURANCE DEPARTMENT BULLETIN HC-97-14-2 JUNE 26,2014 TO: ALL INSURANCE COMPANIES, FRATERNAL BENEFIT SOCIETIES, HOSPITAL SERVICE CORPORATIONS, MEDICAL SERVICE CORPORATIONS AND HEALTH CARE CENTERS THAT DELIVER OR ISSUE SMALL GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE POLICIES IN CONNECTICUT RE: REVISED STATUTORY PLANS REQUIRED BY CONN. GEN. STAT. §38a-568 Conn. Gen. Stat. §38a-568 requires health insurance carriers, including health care centers that transact small employer group health insurance business in this state, to offer plans established by the Board of the Connecticut Small Employer Health Reinsurance Pool (CSEHRP). The CSEHRP Board filed revised major medical and health care center plans that were approved by the Insurance Department on May 30, 2014. The HMO version of the statutory plan must be revised to be in compliance with Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies §38a-l 92 et. seq. This regulation sets a minimum $1500 deductible for health care centers. Increasing the $1000 deductible to $1500 for the HMO version of the statutory plan produces an actuarial value of 80.2%, so remains within the required range for a gold plan. This bulletin rescinds Bulletin HC-97 that was issued on June 9, 2014. The revised approved schedules of benefits are attached as Exhibits I and II. The statutory plan for indemnity plans remains unchanged. A copy of the output from the actuarial value calculator is also attached as Exhibit III. Carriers must include the appropriate version of the revised plans as part of their small employer form and rate filings for January 1,2015.
