Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
Subsection 31A-2-201(1) authorizes the commissioner to administer and enforce Title 31A. Subsection 31A-2-201(3)(a) authorizes the commissioner to make rules to implement the provisions of Title 31A. Section 31A-2-203 authorizes the commissioner to examine carrier records, files, and documentation. Section 31A-4-116 and Subsection 31A-22-629(4) require the commissioner to establish minimum standards for grievance review procedures.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
The department has received no written comments regarding this rule during the past five years.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
This rule clarifies statute and explains the difference between federal law and state statutes. The rule ensures that a carrier's grievance review procedures for individual and group health insurance and disability income insurance plans comply with federal law. Removing this rule would confuse insurers as to what is required of them in regards to their grievance procedures. This rule provides consumer protections. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
