HB 1458 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

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

HB 1458 modifies Mississippi's telephone solicitation law to allow calls about Medicare Advantage or Supplement plans under two specific conditions: (1) when a person has an established business relationship with the solicitor, or (2) when the person has previously requested contact about such plans. This change applies directly to insurance companies and their solicitors selling Medicare plans within Mississippi. The bill clarifies that these exceptions do not override federal preemption under 42 U.S.C. § 1395w-26(b)(3). Other sections of the bill make minor technical corrections to existing provisions but do not alter the core Medicare solicitation rules.
