RE:
Offer of Standard Plan and Additional Benefits
DATE:
January 7, 2000
BULLETIN:
Life & Health 00-1
Section 15-1204(b) of the Insurance Article states that a person may not offer a
health benefit plan in the small employer group market in the State unless the person
offers at least the Comprehensive Standard Health Benefit Plan (“Standard Plan”).
Section 15-1204(d) permits a carrier to offer benefits in addition to those in the Standard
Plan if the additional benefits are offered and priced separately from benefits specified in
accordance with §15-1207 of the Insurance Article.
A carrier or a representative of a carrier who proposes to offer, sell or renew the
Standard Plan must price and quote the Standard Plan separately from any additional
benefits offered, sold or renewed to a group.
If you have any questions on this matter, you may direct them to P. Todd Cioni,
Chief, Market Conduct at (410) 468-2170.
