JCAR Update
In this week's Illinois Register, HFS adopted emergency rules, and proposed a full rule, to implement the recently passed Managed Care Organization assessment. Medicaid managed care organizations will be assessed $61.70 per member per month for the first 4.195 million member months that all individuals in that MCO were enrolled during the base year (2018) and $1.20 per member/month for base year member months beyond that number. For non-Medicaid MCOs, the assessment is $2.40 per member/month for all enrollments during the base year.
Assessments are due and payable on the first State business day of each month beginning 11/1/19. A 5% penalty shall be levied for late payments unless the MCO shows good cause due to financial or other difficulties.
Department of Insurance also proposed amendments to Variable Contracts (50 IAC 1551; 43 Ill Reg 12054) updating references to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table, and adopting rules currently in 50 IAC 3117 (Licensing and Suitability Requirements for the Solicitation of Variable Contracts), which is being proposed for repeal (43 Ill Reg 12070). DOI also proposed an amendment to Accident and Health Reserves (50 IAC 2004; 43 Ill Reg 12066) updating the incorporated NAIC Valuation Manual to the 2019 edition.
