Existing law provides for the regulation of long-term care insurance, as defined, and requires the Insurance Commissioner to review and approve individual and group policies, certificates, riders, and outlines of coverage. Existing law requires every long-term care policy to contain a provision that, in the event the insurer develops new benefits or benefit eligibility or new policies with new benefits or benefit eligibility not included in the previously issued policy, the insurer shall grant specified current policyholders certain rights, namely notifying the policyholders of the new benefits or benefit eligibility or new policy within 12 months and offering the new benefits or benefit eligibility to those policyholders, as specified. The insurer is required to file the notice to current policyholders with the Department of Insurance at the same time as the new policy or rider. This bill would require the insurer to notify the policyholder of the availability of the new benefits or benefit eligibility or the new policy within 12 months of the date that the new policy series is made available for sale in this state. The bill would limit new benefits to including coverage for new long-term care services or providers that are material in nature, as specified.
