Medicaid; modifying eligibility requirements for self-funded or self-insured health care plan to participate in certain premium assistance program. Emergency.
SB 202 proposes to modify eligibility requirements for self-funded health plans (typically large employer-run plans) to qualify for a Medicaid premium assistance program. It would allow these plans to access the program by meeting revised criteria, potentially expanding coverage options for low-income individuals enrolled in such plans. The bill is designated as "Emergency," indicating urgency in its proposed changes. However, as of May 22, 2025, conferees failed to reach agreement on the bill, leaving its provisions unenacted.
