General Accounting Office Wasbington, D.C. 20548 Health, Education and Human Services Division B-261783 December 6, 1995 The Honorable Harris W. Fawell Chairman, Subcommittee on Employer-Employee Relations Committee on Economic and Educational Opportunities House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Your Subcommittee is considering legislation that would provide for consistent regulatory treatment of all small employer health plans within a uniform national framework, including association health plans. Association health plans are plans purchased by trade or business associations (for example, a local chamber of commerce or automobile dealers' association) for their multiple small employer or individual members. To assist your Subcommittee in its deliberations, you asked us to provide information on their market penetration, how they are regulated, and any regulatory concerns or other issues that have surfaced. To answer these questions, we relied primarily on previous work we conducted for your Subcommittee.' We supplemented this information through follow-up discussions with insurance regulators from seven states, selected judgmentally based on prior knowledge of their regulatory treatment of association plans. The states are Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, New York, Ohio, and Vermont. Our work was conducted from July through November 1995 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. 1Health Insurance Reaulation: Variation in Recent State Small Employer Health Insurance Reforms (GAO/HEHS-95-16lFS, June 12, 1995).
