TITLE 22 - CALIFORNIA HEALTH BENEFIT EXCHANGE
Section 100506.

100506. (a) The board shall establish an appeals process for prospective and current enrollees of the Exchange that complies with all requirements of the federal act concerning the role of a state Exchange in facilitating federal appeals of Exchange-related determinations. Once the federal regulations concerning appeals have been issued in final form by the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, the board may establish additional requirements related to appeals, provided that the board determines, prior to adoption, that any additional requirement results in no cost to the General Fund and no increase in the charge imposed under subdivision (n) of Section 100503.

(b) The board shall not be required to provide an appeal if the subject of the appeal is within the jurisdiction of the Department of Managed Health Care pursuant to the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975 (Chapter 2.2 (commencing with Section 1340) of Division 2 of the Health and Safety Code) and its implementing regulations, or within the jurisdiction of the Department of Insurance pursuant to the Insurance Code and its implementing regulations.

(Amended by Stats. 2019, Ch. 38, Sec. 4. (SB 78) Effective June 27, 2019.)
