R590-207-5. Commission Schedule Structure  


Latest version.
  • (1) A health insurance carrier shall not structure producer commission schedule in a way that, directly or indirectly, creates a restriction, hindrance, or barrier to access to coverage for the smallest size groups or groups with the greatest health risks.

    (2) The commission in the commission schedule for the smallest size groups or the groups with the greatest health risks may not be designed to avoid, directly or indirectly, the requirements of guaranteed issue or renewal in the marketing of health insurance to small business owners.

    (3) An insurer shall not design a commission structure that lessens the incentive to insure a small employer group that is smallest in size or with the greatest health risks.

    (4) An insurer is not required to base commissions on a percentage. An insurer is permitted to pay no commissions on all business or to pay a dollar amount based on factors other than risk characteristics.
