CA AB2110

Requires individual health care service plan contracts and individual health insurance policies issued, amended, or renewed on or after January 1, 2011, to provide a 50-day grace period for premium payments after the first premium.

Enrollees and insured individuals who fail to pay premiums during the 50-day grace period are fully liable for any medical costs incurred during that period, except for services authorized prior to the premium due date.

Mandates that health care service plans and health insurers provide written notice to enrollees/insured individuals upon issuance, amendment, or renewal of contracts or policies, informing them of the grace period and their liability for unpaid premiums.

Preserves the right of health care service plans and health insurers to recover unpaid premiums from enrollees and insured individuals consistent with state and federal law.

Clarifies that willful violations of requirements for health care service plans constitute a crime under existing law, making this a state-mandated local program with no reimbursement required.
