Required Adherence to HHS Standards Sample Clauses

Required Adherence to HHS Standards for Compiling/Providing Information to Enrollees that Accurately Describes Benefits of Coverage: DOI is waiting for HHS to promulgate final rules. In the meantime, DOI will enforce state laws requiring insurers to provide the terms and conditions of their health benefit plan products.

Section 1003 of the Affordable Care Act requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in conjunction with the States, to establish a process for the annual review of health insurance premiums to protect consumers from unreasonable, unjustified and/or excessive rate increases.
