Health and
Human Services Releases Revision to Health Reform Law's Medical Loss Ratio Rule
On Friday, HHS
released revisions to the final rule
for medical-loss ratio requirements under the federal health reform law
stipulating that insurers must provide customers with information about how
their premium payments are spent, The Hill's "Healthwatch"
reports (Baker, "Healthwatch," The Hill, 12/2).
The MLR rule
mandates that private insurers spend at least 80% in the individual market or
85% in the group market of premium dollars on direct medical costs. Insurers
that do not comply with the ratio must issue rebates to consumers (California
Healthline, 12/2).
The MLR
regulation took effect at the beinning of 2011. However, HHS on Friday unveiled
details that addressed previously unresolved issues (Reichard, CQ HealthBeat,
12/2).
Details of Revisions
According to the
rule, insurers must notify customers about MLR data even if spending levels meet
the law's requirements. The rule also states that any rebates must be tax-free
("Healthwatch," The Hill, 12/2).
According to HHS,
employers can distribute rebates by reducing workers' premiums for the rest of
the year or the following year or by giving them a cash refund. The first
rebates must be provided by August 2012 (Radnofsky,
Wall Street Journal,
12/2).
