CT SB00375

Authorizes health care centers in Connecticut to operate in multiple states and other jurisdictions, allowing them to expand beyond Connecticut's borders while remaining subject to state oversight.

Eliminates the annual utilization review program report filing requirement that health carriers previously had to submit to the Insurance Commissioner by March 1st, while maintaining other compliance obligations.

Allows health care centers to be organized under general corporation, partnership, association, or trust laws in Connecticut and permits organizations formed under other state laws to operate as health care centers in Connecticut.

Makes technical revisions to health care center definitions and regulatory provisions, including changes to governance requirements for nonprofit and for-profit health care centers and expansion of the Insurance Commissioner's authority regarding asset pledging and financial oversight.

Requires health carriers to maintain grievance records for six years and submit external review reports to the Commissioner upon request, replacing the eliminated annual utilization review reporting requirement with more targeted reporting obligations.
