HB 60 -- Missouri Health Insurance Pool

Sponsor:  Lipke

This bill requires all health insurers to notify an insured
person when he or she has exhausted 85% of his or her total
lifetime health insurance benefits and of the person's
eligibility for and the methods of applying for coverage under
the Missouri Health Insurance Pool.  Notification must be
repeated when an insured has exhausted 100% of his or her total
lifetime health insurance benefits.

An individual who has exceeded his or her total lifetime health
insurance benefits from his or her insurer is eligible for the
pool which has a $2 million lifetime benefit.  An individual who
is eligible and has an income of less than 350% of the federal
poverty level will receive a 50% discount off the pool's
premiums.
