Relating to allowing Medicaid managed care organizations to engage in marketing about the availability of certain private health benefit plan coverage.
HB 3747 allows Medicaid managed care organizations to inform Medicaid recipients about private health plans available through government health insurance marketplaces (like those created under the Affordable Care Act). The bill removes existing restrictions in state marketing guidelines, enabling these organizations to share information about qualified health plans offered via exchanges. This change directly affects Medicaid recipients, who may learn about alternative coverage options, and Medicaid managed care organizations, which can now provide this information. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not alter Medicaid benefits or require recipients to switch plans.
