Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, an insurer must provide to a policyholder of a group
disability insurance policy or to an employer that provides health care coverage to
its employees through a multiple-employer trust the policyholder's or employer's
aggregate group health claims experience if the policyholder or employer requests
the information. The insurer may not charge the policyholder or the employer if the
policyholder or employer requests the information one time in a 12-month period.
The bill prohibits the insurer from imposing any consequence on the
policyholder or employer if the policyholder or employer requests the information.
