The bill amends various sections of Alaska's insurance laws to enhance regulatory oversight and clarify provisions related to insurance practices. A significant change is the introduction of a new subsection that allows prosecutions for life insurance-related offenses to begin within one year of discovery, even if the general time limitation has expired, but not extending the limitation period by more than 20 years. The bill also expands the scope of entities subject to examination by the director of insurance to include pharmacy benefits managers and third-party administrators, allowing for examinations whenever deemed necessary. Additionally, it modifies existing requirements for insurers regarding the filing of annual audited financial reports by removing previous exemptions based on financial hardship and mandates that health care insurers offer non-network options to policyholders.

Further amendments focus on licensing requirements for third-party administrators and pharmacy benefits managers, changing terminology from "registration" to "licensure" and establishing specific requirements for obtaining and renewing licenses. The bill also emphasizes the importance of maintaining fiduciary responsibilities and outlines conditions under which the director may suspend a license without prior notice. Other notable changes include enhanced consumer protections in health care insurance, such as prohibiting insurers from interfering with a covered person's choice of pharmacy and ensuring coverage for certain medical procedures without cost-sharing. Overall, the bill aims to strengthen the regulatory framework governing insurance practices in Alaska, ensuring accountability and consumer rights.
