Regards certain forms of solicitation-Medicare supplement policy
This bill amends state insurance regulations to restrict the Superintendent of Insurance from banning specific methods of marketing Medicare supplement policies. It explicitly allows for solicitation through printed materials left at homes, in-person visits at residences or public areas, and electronic communications like texts and social media messages, while still permitting the Superintendent to ban in-person sales at nursing homes and residential care facilities. Additionally, the legislation mandates that these policies cannot deny coverage for preexisting conditions if medical advice was sought within six months of the policy start date and requires the creation of new rules to standardize policy terms, claims handling, and premium increase procedures.
