AI Summary

  • Requires health care service plans and health insurers to include a statement in disenrollment notices (effective January 1, 2018) directing individuals to the Office of the Patient Advocate's website for information on low- or no-cost health care and prescription medicine programs.

  • Mandates that the Department of Insurance, Department of Managed Health Care, Office of the Patient Advocate, and California Health Benefit Exchange jointly develop the required statement by July 1, 2017.

  • Specifies that the statement must note these programs may not satisfy the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's individual mandate requirement.

  • Exempts specialized health care service plans, Medicare supplemental plans, specialized health insurance policies, and excepted benefits coverage from these notice requirements.

  • Establishes that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts under Article XIII B of the California Constitution because any costs result from changes to crime-related provisions.
