Health Application Working Group
- Landmark Health Insurance Reform Signed January 5, 2010
- Governor Quinn Signs Consumer Protection Bill
Background
The Working Group was created as a result of Public Act 96-857, which requires the development of standard health insurance applications to make it easier for individuals and small businesses in Illinois to shop for health insurance and compare competing plans. While individuals and small businesses seeking quotes from competing health insurance plans must now complete a separate application for each health insurer, the Working Group will develop a single health insurance application that will be used by all insurers and HMOs beginning January 1, 2011.
The Working Group is comprised of a diverse group of health care experts and consumer advocates, small business owners, insurance agents, and insurance company representatives.
