  • Title: Medicare program; Medigap--certification of Medicare supplemental health insurance policies: Health Care Financing Administration. Proposed rule.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 1981 Jan 21; 46(13 Pt 2):6296-307. PubMed ID: 10298081.
    Abstract:
    This proposal would establish a program of certification, by the Secretary, of Medicare supplemental health insurance policies (so-called Medigap policies) voluntarily submitted by insurers for review. It would implement, in part, section 507 of the Social Security Disability Amendments of 1980. HCFA will administer the certification program. The voluntary certification program would go into effect July 1, 1982, and would apply only to policies issued in those States that do not have in effect a program for regulating Medigap policies equal to or more stringent than the one to be described in these regulations. A Supplemental Health Insurance Panel, consisting of the Secretary or a designee and four State Commissioners of Superintendents of Insurance appointed by the President, will determine the adequacy of a State's program in relation to the standards contained in the regulations. These regulations would: (1) set standards for policies voluntarily submitted to HCFA for certification, (2) establish procedures for the certification program, and (3) promulgate the statutory requirements that the Supplemental Health Insurance Panel would use to approve State regulatory programs.
