Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care and makes a willful violation of the act a crime. Existing law also provides for the regulation of health insurers by the Department of Insurance. Existing law requires a health care service plan or health insurer to allow an individual to enroll in or change their health benefit plan as a result of a specified triggering event, including when the individual or the individual’s dependent loses minimum essential coverage, as provided.
