Stephen T. DeStefano", "committee": "Commerce", "vote_yeas": 12, "vote_nays": 8, "text": "This bill is the companion bill to HB 611 that was passed by the House 256-105 in March. Both the House and the Senate versions of SB 125FN provide for substantial reform of the problems experienced in the small business health insurance market by the passage of SB 110in 2003 (Chapter 188). SB 125, as did HB 611, eliminates the use of medical underwriting and geographic location from consideration in setting premium rates. The bill also places a band around premium rates charged to individual groups to a 3.5 to 1 ratio. This bill also creates a small employer health reinsurance mechanism that will allow insurers to look at health profiles of individuals within a group after premium rates are set for the purpose of \"ceding\" high risk individuals into a reinsurance pool. This will encourage new insurers with limited market penetration to participate in the small group market by affording them the opportunity to transfer costs that would be unacceptable in a small group to the reinsurance pool where the costs are spread over the whole market. This will help to relieve the financial burden that small group employers experience when one or two employees experience significant health problems. In order to cede an insured into the pool, the insurer must pay five times the annual insurance premium into the pool and absorb the first $5000 of claims expense. This will cost the insurer up to $30,000 per insured life for the right to cede the risk to the pool, limiting the cost burden to be absorbed by the reinsurance mechanism. The only significant difference in the two bills is in the definition of who participates in the reinsurance pool. In HB 611, the costs incurred by the pool are assessed solely to insurers participating in the small group market. SB 125 expands participation in the pool to all insurance entities that provide coverage in New Hampshire. This spreads the costs associated with high risk individuals over a much broader base, which will help to take pressure of rates in the small business market. Since the underlying concept of insurance is to spread risk over as broad a base as possible, it seems only prudent to spread these costs over the entire market."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. Sheila T. Francoeur", "committee": "Commerce", "text": "The committee has spent many hours working on this important issue, and we all agree that SB 110, passed in 2003, has problems and needs to be fixed. Everyone agreed in both the Senate and the House that the vast majority of the problems created by that bill existed in the groups of 1 and groups of 2-9. According to the New Hampshire Insurance Department these groups represent only several thousand people out of the 200,000 total in the small group market, or approximately 1%. In order to fix the problem, SB 125 proposes another radical change in our insurance regulations which will have a dramatic impact on the New Hampshire insurance market. SB 125 attempts to fix the problem. The unintended consequences of that are many of the new carriers who have recently come into the state have testified that they will leave. Others, such as AETNA Insurance, who are considering coming into the state, have said they will not. These companies have been offering new, innovative and cost effective plans such as Health Savings Accounts (HSA's). Additionally, the department estimates that over 45% of the small group market will experience a dramatic increase in health insurance rates. Finally, SB 125 will create a reinsurance pool which levies an assessment on every covered life in the state. The fiscal note attached to this bill estimates that this assessment will cost the state employee health insurance plan $250,000 the first year, increasing to almost $500,000 within four years. This assessment would also be levied against all county and municipal insurance plans. Health insurance companies, insurance agents, and small business organizations unanimously agree that the reinsurance mechanism included in SB 125 is too costly and administratively cumbersome. Concerns were also raised about the fact that the reinsurance mechanism in SB 125 is aimed at subsidizing the losses of health insurance companies and not reducing health insurance costs for small businesses. The minority believes that any major reforms to this market should be accompanied by a legislative oversight committee, however, supporters of SB 125 were unwilling to consider any changes to the Senate's version of this bill. The minority amendment will correct the problems created by passage of SB 110 in 2003. It will also attract new insurance carriers to the 2 state while encouraging those currently in the state who offer innovative, creative and affordable products to stay. The end result will be a stable market place serving the people of New Hampshire."}], "source": "House Calendar 45, 2005", "date": "2005-06-03", "dated": "printed", "cite": "HC 45", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2005%5CNo%2045%20June%203%202005.pdf"}], "docket_reports": [{"date": "2005-03-22", "dated": "recorded", "body": "S", "committee": "Banks and Insurance", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "0840", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 12A", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2005%5CSC%2012A.pdf"}, {"date": "2005-03-31", "dated": "recorded", "body": "S", "committee": "Finance", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "0972", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 14", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2005%5CSC%2014.pdf"}], "report_actions": [], "veto_message": null, "bill_note": null, "subject": "Insurance", "subject_source": "granite record", "house_committee": "Commerce", "senate_committee": "Banks and Insurance", "lsr": "2005-1009", "docket_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=1009&sy=2005&txtsessionyear=2005&txtbillnumber=sb125&sortoption=billnumber", "documents": [{"label": "Bill status page", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/Bill_status.aspx?lsr=1009&sy=2005&txtsessionyear=2005&txtbillnumber=sb125&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "status"}, {"label": "Docket", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=1009&sy=2005&txtsessionyear=2005&txtbillnumber=sb125&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "docket"}, {"label": "SC 7", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2005%5CSC%2007.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 12A", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2005%5CSC%2012A.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 14", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2005%5CSC%2014.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "HC 45", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2005%5CNo%2045%20June%203%202005.pdf", "kind": "record"}], "amendments": [{"num": "0840", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2005-03-24", "body": "S", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "RC", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "0972", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2005-04-07", "body": "S", "adopted": false, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1049", "kind": "Floor Amendment", "where": "floor", "date": "2005-04-07", "body": "S", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "RC", "mover": "Sen.

However, the highest factor based on geographic location shall not exceed the lowest factor based on geographic location by more than 15 percent.\n\n(6) Carriers may use the health status of the small employer group as a rating factor. However, the application of a health status factor shall be subject to the following limitations:\n\n(A) The health status factor may reflect health status of covered persons, the small employer\u2019s claim experience, or the duration of coverage since health statements were last provided.\n\n(B) Variations from the arithmetic average of the highest rate charged to the lowest rate charged shall not exceed 25 percent.\n\n(C) Upon the renewal of a small employer policy, any increase in the premium rate that is solely attributable to changes in the health status factor from the prior year shall be no more than 15 percent.\n\n(7) Upon the renewal of a small employer policy, a carrier is prohibited from increasing the premium rate by more than 25 percent of the rate that was charged in the preceding year. Such rate increase limitation shall not include any premium rate increase that is based on a carrier\u2019s annual cost and utilization trends or changes in the rating factor for attained age of covered persons.] The maximum premium rate differential after adjusting for all case characteristics as determined by ratio shall be 3.5 to 1. This limitation shall not apply for determining premium rates for covered persons whose attained age is less than 19.\n\n(4) In establishing the premium rates, health carriers offering coverage to small employers may make further adjustments based on family composition.\n\n(5) The small employer health carrier shall set premium rates for small employers after consideration of case characteristics of the small employer group as well as family composition. No small employer health carrier shall inquire regarding health status or claims experience of the small employer or its employees or dependents until after the premium rates have been agreed upon by the carrier and the employer.\n\n(6) Carriers may calculate premium rates using either list billing or composite billing. Carriers shall use the same billing method in all succeeding rating periods unless the small employer agrees to allow the carrier to change the methodology.\n\n(7) The percentage increase in the premium rates used by a health carrier for a new rating period shall not exceed 20 percent of the premium rates used by that carrier in the preceding rating period. Such rate increase limitation shall not include any premium rate increase that is based on changes in the health coverage plan rate.\n\n(f) Each rating factor that a carrier chooses to utilize in the individual market shall be reflective of claim cost variations that correlate with that factor independently of claim cost variations that correlate with any of the other allowable factors.\n\n225:11 Medical Underwriting. Amend RSA 420-G:5, I to read as follows:\n\nI. Health carriers providing health coverage for individuals [ or small employer groups] may perform medical underwriting, including the use of health statements or screenings or the use of prior claims history, to the extent necessary to establish or modify premium rates as provided in RSA 420-G:4. The commissioner may allow group carriers to use standardized health statements. Small group carriers may use the standard reinsurance underwriting form for their reinsurance ceding decisions to the New Hampshire small employer health reinsurance pool, established in RSA 420-K:2, after premium prices have been agreed upon by the carrier and the small employer.\n\n225:12 New Chapter; Small Employer Health Reinsurance Pool.

Beginning January 1, 2006, members may reinsure with the pool health coverage provided to small employers as follows:\n\nI. The pool shall reinsure the level of coverage provided up to, but not exceeding, the level of coverage provided in the standard health benefit plan or the actuarial equivalent thereof as defined and authorized by the board.\n\nII.

The amount of the deductible shall be periodically reviewed by the board and may be adjusted upward as determined by the board.\n\nIII. A member may reinsure an entire small employer group within a period of 60 days following the small employer\u2019s health insurance policy issue or renewal date.\n\nIV. A member may reinsure an eligible employee or dependent of a small employer group within a period of 60 days following the small employer\u2019s health insurance policy issue or renewal date.\n\nV. A member may reinsure a newly eligible employee or dependent of a small employer group within a period of 60 days following the commencement of his or her coverage.\n\nVI. Reinsurance coverage may be terminated for each reinsured employee or dependent on any plan anniversary.\n\nVII. Reinsurance of newborn dependents shall be allowed only if the mother of any such dependent is reinsured as of the date of birth of such child, and all newborn dependents of reinsured persons shall be automatically reinsured as of their date of birth.\n\nVIII. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs III and IV:\n\n(a) Coverage for eligible employees and their dependents provided under a group policy covering 2 or more small employers shall not be eligible for reinsurance when such coverage is discontinued and replaced by a group policy of another carrier covering 2 or more small employers, unless coverage for such eligible employees or dependents was reinsured by the prior carrier; and\n\n(b) At the time coverage is assumed for such group by a succeeding carrier, such carrier shall notify the pool of its intention to provide coverage for such group and shall identify the employees and dependents whose coverage will continue to be reinsured. The time limitations for providing such notice shall be established by the pool.\n\nIX. The board, as part of the plan of operation, shall establish a methodology for determining premium rates to be charged for reinsuring small employers and individuals. The methodology shall include a system for classification of small employers that reflects the way case characteristics are commonly used by small employer carriers in the state. Pool reinsurance premiums shall be established at the following percentages of the base reinsurance premium rate established by the pool for that classification of small employers with similar case characteristics:\n\n(a) An entire small employer group consisting of 2 or more employees may be reinsured for a rate that is 150 percent of the applicable base reinsurance premium rate for the group established pursuant to RSA 420-K:4, II; and\n\n(b) An eligible employee or dependent may be reinsured for a rate that is 500 percent of the applicable base reinsurance premium rate for the individual established pursuant to RSA 420-K:4, II.\n\nX. On or before December 1, 2005, the board shall establish, subject to the approval of the commissioner, a standard reinsurance underwriting form for use by small employer carriers in ceding risks to the pool. The form may be amended from time to time as the board deems necessary, subject to the approval of the commissioner.\n\n420-K:6 Assessments.\n\nI. Following the close of each fiscal year, the administrator shall determine the net premiums, the pool expenses of administration and the incurred losses for the year, taking into account investment income and other appropriate gains and losses.\n\n(a) Each member\u2019s assessment for the reinsurance pool shall be based on its number of covered lives times a specified assessment rate. The board of directors shall specify the basis used to set the assessment rate. The board of directors shall establish a regular assessment rate, which shall be:\n\n(1) Calculated on a calendar year basis based on the net losses from the audited financial statements of the prior fiscal year;\n\n(2) Established no later than November 1 in the current fiscal year; and\n\n(3) Anticipated to be sufficient to meet the pool\u2019s funding needs.\n\n(b) In addition to the regular assessment rate, the board may establish a special assessment rate for organizational expenses. Notwithstanding RSA 420-G:4, a writer of health insurance may increase the premiums charged by the amount of the special assessment. Any assessment may appear as a separate line item on a policyholder\u2019s bill.\n\n(1) The board shall only establish an interim assessment if the board determines that its funds are or will become insufficient to pay the reinsurance pool\u2019s expense in a timely manner.\n\n(2) The regular assessment rate, and any special assessment rate, shall be subject to the approval of the commissioner. The commissioner shall approve the rate if he or she finds that the amount is required to fulfill the purpose of the reinsurance pool. For the purpose of making this determination, the commissioner may, at the expense of the pool, seek independent actuarial certification of the need for the proposed rate.\n\n(c) The board shall impose and collect assessments on members of the pool.\n\n(d) If the assessment exceeds the amount actually needed, the excess shall be held and invested and, with the earnings and interest thereon, be used to offset future net losses. Each covered life shall be included in the assessment on an aggregate basis and procedures shall be maintained to ensure that no covered life is counted more than once.\n\nII. Provision shall be made in the plan of operation for the imposition of an interest penalty for late payment of assessments.\n\nIII. The board may defer, in whole or in part, the assessment of a member insurer if, in the opinion of the board, payment of the assessment would endanger the ability of the insurer to fulfill its contractual obligations. In the event an assessment against a member insurer is deferred in whole or in part, the amount by which such assessment is deferred may be assessed against the other members in a manner consistent with the basis for assessments set forth in this chapter. The member insurer receiving such deferral shall remain liable to the pool for the amount deferred. The board may attach appropriate conditions to any such deferral.\n\n420-K:7 Immunity and Indemnification.\n\nI. Neither the participation in the pool as members, the establishment of rates, forms, or procedures, nor any other joint or collective action required by this chapter shall be the basis of any legal action against the pool or any of its members.\n\nII. Any person or member made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding because the person or member served on the board or on a committee or was an officer or employee of the pool shall be held harmless and be indemnified by the pool against all liability and costs, including the amounts of judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, and expenses and reasonable attorney\u2019s fees incurred in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding. The indemnification shall not be provided on any matter in which the person or member is finally adjudged in the action, suit, or proceeding to have committed a breach of duty involving gross negligence, dishonesty, willful misfeasance, or reckless disregard of the responsibilities of office. Costs and expenses of the indemnification shall be prorated and paid for by all members. The commissioner may retain actuarial consultants necessary to carry out his or her responsibilities pursuant to this chapter and such expenses shall be paid by the pool established in this chapter.\n\n225:13 Repeal. RSA 420-G:4, I(e)(7), relative to increasing the premium rate for small employers at successive rating periods, is repealed.\n\n225:14 New Hampshire Small Employer Health Reinsurance Pool; Ceding at Renewal Restricted.
