NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Sections 31A-22-635 and 31A-30-102 direct the commissioner to create a universal health insurance application.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

In regards to changes being made to the rule at the time, Altius Insurance Company and American Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) requested changes to the application, which was not included in the rule. These changes were made to the application.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule has made it possible for an individual to complete one application for individual health insurance to be submitted to multiple health insurance companies instead of completing one for each company. It saves time and effort on everyone's part. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
