House Committee Substitute

HCS/SB 508 - This act changes section references within the SCHIP to remove any reference relating to the uninsured women's health program. This act also removes the requirement that parents annually prove their total net worth is below $250,000 and changes the ineligibility period for children whose parents have failed to meet copayment or premium obligations from six months to ninety days.

This act also exempts health benefit plans categorized as "excepted benefit plans" from requirements of any health insurance mandate, but requires that such excepted benefit plans shall provide a disclaimer conspicuously indicating that the plan is not minimum essential coverage on policies, certificates, application and enrollment forms, advertising materials, and plan identification cards.

This act also requires that an applicant for a navigator license must take an exam administered by the Department of Insurance or an independent testing service with which the Department has contracted and requires applicants for individual licenses to provide two sets of fingerprints for the purpose of doing Missouri and national criminal record reviews.
