Re:

Implementation of SB 262

Several provisions of Senate Bill 262, as passed by the 97th Missouri General Assembly,

were effective on Aug. 28, 2013. Senate Bill 262 enacted several sections related to health

maintenance organizations and health insurance. Specifically, Senate Bill 262 includes

provisions related to HMOs and deductible plans, exclusive in-network plans, the

individual and group policy form approval process, the Missouri Health Insurance Pool,

actuarial analysis of certain health insurance mandates, utilization review procedure,

credentialing of health care practitioners, the creation of the Missouri Oral Chemotherapy

Parity Interim Committee, and acceptance into closed or exclusive health carrier networks.

This bulletin is for informational purposes only. Every health insurance carrier

operating in this state, every health insurance carrier insuring Missouri

residents, and all other interested parties are strongly encouraged to review this

law in its entirety to determine compliance.
