Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care. Existing law requires a health care service plan to meet specified requirements, including notice requirements, and requires a health care service plan contract to provide to subscribers and enrollees specified basic health care services.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to require health care service plans to provide clear notice to consumers about their health care coverage.
