Rule 120-2-96-.01 - Authority and Purpose

O.C.G.A. Section 33-51-2(1) authorizes the Commissioner of Insurance to "establish flexible guidelines" for HSA-High Deductible Health Plan filings submitted in connection with products that incorporate health promotion and wellness principles. Within the provisions of Chapter 33-51-4, it is stated that to the extent wellness principles are applied within approved policy contracts, that discounts, refunds, credits or other incentives shall not be considered to be illegal inducements or rebating under applicable provisions of the Georgia Insurance Code, including Unfair Trade Practice provisions. Other provisions of the Act make changes to PPO allowable differentials between classes of providers and product design potential changes. This Rule is intended to amplify and promulgate practical guidelines to carry out the Georgia Affordable HSA Eligible High Deductible Health Plan Act.
