WSR 16-18-064 WITHDRAWAL OFPREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY OFFICE OF INSURANCE COMMISSIONER [Filed September 2, 2016, 8:57 a.m.]
The office of the insurance commissioner is withdrawing the CR-101 for R 2016-10: Adding dental insurance requirements to comply with SHB 1002. The code reviser's office published this rule in WSR 16-10-056.
Our agency's reason for writing the rule was to implement a requirement from SHB 1002, for insurers to submit certain data annually to our agency regarding dental-only health plans. As we began the rule process, we became aware that existing state laws already require insurers to submit this information, and that they in fact have been submitting this information. As a result, our agency simply needs to start making this information available online, which we can accomplish without writing a rule. For this reason, our agency is withdrawing the CR-101.
We will contact individuals that provided comments during the CR-101 comment period, to notify them that we have withdrawn the CR-101.
Mike Kreidler
Insurance Commissioner
