INSURANCE/GROUP-STATE: Provides relative to disclosure and remittance of revenues in excess of certain contractual amounts in certain circumstances for certain contractors with the state's Office of Group Benefits (EN SEE FISC NOTE SG RV)
This bill modifies how contractors working with the state's Office of Group Benefits report financial data. It clarifies that specific payments for network access and quality performance programs, which are based on national standards, should not be counted as revenue under the existing reporting rules. The change directly affects the administrators managing these benefits by adjusting the definition of revenue used for financial disclosures. This amendment ensures that certain performance-based payments are excluded from the calculation of excess revenues that might otherwise trigger remittance requirements.
