Summary
The Department of Insurance received four written comments regarding this rule in 2013. This rule was amended in 2013 to provide to the health insurance industry the application to be used for individual health insurance outside of the Federally Facilitated Marketplace and for small employer health insurance. Two of the comments requested the addition of "domestic partner" to the application; this was done. Another comment requested the addition of two health-related questions to make this rule more consistent with the standard federal application, and to provide special needs information to carriers. Another comment requested an employer-use application that would identify employer-chosen benefits, and made other enrollment suggestions.
