Iowa Insurance Division Requests Comments for Rule-Making Related to MEWAs
Des Moines – The Iowa Insurance Division is soliciting comments from the public regarding rule-making related to Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements (MEWAs). Senate File 2349 (SF 2349), which was signed by Governor Reynolds on Monday, April 2, 2018, requires these updates.
“MEWAs can provide Iowa employers a meaningful way to band together to provide health coverage for their employees, who might otherwise be priced out of Iowa’s collapsed ACA individual market,” Iowa Insurance Commissioner Doug Ommen said. “I want to hear ideas from all Iowa individuals, businesses and other interested parties on this. Those thoughts or ideas regarding MEWAs can help ensure the MEWA regulations provide a sensible and stable option for Iowans seeking health coverage.”
The Iowa Insurance Division will accept comments through Friday, April 27, 2018 at https://iid.iowa.gov/SF2349comment or via email at SF2349comment@iid.iowa.gov. Please include the commenting person’s name, organization and email address with the comments.
