"(b) The commissioners shall
solicit the thoughts and report a consensus, where one exists, of the other
commissioners interested in creating a consortium of like minded states in
establishing rules of reciprocity for the approval of health insurance
policies. Issues to be considered
include but are not limited to:
(i) Whether the consortium should
involve only high deductible individual policies, all comprehensive individual
medical and surgical health insurance policies, both of these types of
individual policies plus small group policies or all health insurance policies;
(ii) Whether insurers should be
free to price differently among consortium states dependent on local health
care costs and market conditions;
(iii) Whether a policy approved in
a primary state shall be automatically available in all secondary states of the
consortium, or available at the option of the insurer;
(iv) In areas where an associated
preferred provider network is Absent,
whether sale of policies should be prohibited, disclaimers should be required
or the sale of policies should be regulated only by market forces and
conditions;
(v) The adequacy for a multi-state
consortium of existing state laws on insurer financial solvency, guarantee
funds and imposition and collection of premium taxes;
(vi) The authority of a secondary
state to deal with customer complaints concerning a multi-state policy;
(vii) Whether and when an insurer
selling a policy approved in a primary state must notify the commissioner of a
secondary state that the insurer is marketing the policy in the secondary
state;
(viii) Whether secondary state
insurers, in order to sell competitive policies, may match any less restrictive
primary state rules governing policies sold in the secondary state, and whether
disclaimers to warn potential customers shall be required on policies and
promotional materials in the secondary state;
(ix) Whether any of the issues
identified in this subsection require the enactment of uniform laws in the
consortium states;
(x) Estimated savings to customers
from policy approval only in the primary state and from uniform or less
restrictive policies across the consortium states;
(xi) Other issues deemed
appropriate by the commissioners to implement a multi-state consortium.
(c) The commissioner shall make an
initial proposal that Wyoming recommends the rules of approval for reciprocity
should include terms and conditions to protect customers similar to the
following:".
