Authorizes the establishment of a state-based health insurance exchange and assessments thereto. Proposed law authorizes the commissioner of insurance to assess a fee from insurers offering health insurance coverage through a La.-based health insurance exchange. Requires the assessment from insurers not to exceed 2% of the amount of premiums received by the insurers during the previous
calendar year. Further provides for the fee to be assessed by and made payable to the commissioner annually between July 1 and July 30. Proposed law requires each insurer to file with the commissioner, on a form prescribed and provided by the commissioner, information requested to determine the total premiums received by each insurer in the preceding calendar year and to calculate the assessment. Further requires the insurer to file the prescribed form annually by March 1.
