PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
OFFICE OF THE
INSURANCE COMMISSIONER
[Insurance Commissioner Matter R 2021-01—Filed January 26, 2021, 3:52 p.m.]
Subject of Possible Rule Making: Specifying health carriers in WAC 284-30-595.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: WSR 20-24-070 created WAC 284-30-595 to provide guidance for companies to use and apply implementation credits. Due solely [to] using of the word "insurer" in WAC 284-30-595, health care service contractors and health maintenance organizations were unintentionally excluded. This rule making will specifically define health carriers as a permissibly [permissible] entity within WAC 284-30-595.
Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None.
Process for Developing New Rule: Submit written comments by March 12, 2021.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting David Forte, 302 Sid Snyder Avenue S.W., Olympia, WA 98504, phone 360-725-7042, fax 360-586-3109, TTY 360-586-0241, email rulescoordinator@oic.wa.gov, website www.insurance.wa.gov.
