Telephone solicitors; revise certain provisions regarding Medicare Advantage and Supplement plans.

HB 1177 modifies Mississippi's telephone solicitation law to permit insurance companies selling Medicare Advantage or Supplement plans to call consumers under two conditions: if the consumer already has a business relationship with the company, or if the consumer initiated the request for a call. It removes prior restrictions that prohibited such calls, aligning state law with federal Medicare rules. The bill specifically affects Medicare plan sellers and consumers who have engaged with these companies before or requested contact. Key provisions clarify that calls must follow the established business relationship or consumer-initiated request exceptions. This change directly impacts how insurance providers may contact potential Medicare plan customers.
