HB1019

Association Self-Funded Health Benefit Plan Coverage Act allows professional and trade associations to offer self-funded health plans in Mississippi.

The Association Self-Funded Health Benefit Plan Coverage Act provides additional group health benefit plan coverage options to professional and trade associations in Mississippi. These associations can offer self-funded health plans to their members, subject to certain conditions. The plans must be subject to the jurisdiction of another state insurance department or the federal government. The act exempts these plans from Mississippi insurance laws and requires them to designate the Mississippi Commissioner of Insurance as their agent for service of process.
