Michigan HB6019 requires health insurers to consider the closure or removal of a health system as a qualifying event for a special enrollment period.

Michigan HB6019 amends the state's insurance code to mandate that health insurers recognize the closure or removal of a health system from their network as a qualifying event. This triggers a special enrollment period for affected policyholders. The bill defines "health system" as an entity or group under common ownership that operates one or more hospitals and may include physician practices, outpatient facilities, long-term care facilities, laboratories, and other health-care-related operations.
