subdivision 2, as amended by Laws 2002, chapter 330, section 8,

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), a rate filed with
respect to a policy of accident and sickness insurance as
defined in section 62A.01 by an insurer licensed under chapter
60A, may be used on or after the date of filing with the
commissioner. Rates that are not approved or disapproved within
the 60-day time period are deemed approved. This paragraph does

62A.31, subdivision 3, paragraph (q).
Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 62D.02,
subdivision 8, is amended to read:
Subd. 8. [HEALTH MAINTENANCE CONTRACT.] "Health
maintenance contract" means any contract whereby a health
maintenance organization agrees to provide to enrollees
comprehensive health maintenance services to enrollees, provided
that and any other health care service set forth in the
contract. The contract may contain reasonable enrollee
copayment cost-sharing provisions if the provisions meet the
requirements of section 62D.095. An individual or group health
maintenance contract may contain the copayment and deductible
provisions specified in this subdivision. Copayment and
deductible provisions in group contracts shall not discriminate
on the basis of age, sex, race, length of enrollment in the
plan, or economic status; and during every open enrollment
period in which all offered health benefit plans, including
those subject to the jurisdiction of the commissioners of
commerce or health, fully participate without any underwriting
restrictions, copayment and deductible provisions shall not
discriminate on the basis of preexisting health status. In no
event shall the sum of the annual copayments and deductible
exceed the maximum out-of-pocket expenses allowable for a number
three qualified plan under section 62E.06, nor shall that sum
exceed $5,000 per family. The annual deductible must not exceed
$1,000 per person. The annual deductible must not apply to
preventive health services as described in Minnesota Rules, part
4685.0801, subpart 8. Where sections 62D.01 to 62D.30 permit a
health maintenance organization to contain reasonable copayment
provisions for preexisting health status, these provisions may
vary with respect to length of enrollment in the plan. Any
contract may provide for health care services in addition to
those set forth in subdivision 7.
Sec. 3. [62D.095] [ENROLLEE COST SHARING.]
Subdivision 1. [GENERAL APPLICATION.] A health maintenance
contract may contain enrollee cost-sharing provisions as
specified in this section. Co-payment and deductible provisions
in a group contract must not discriminate on the basis of age,
sex, race, disability, economic status, or length of enrollment
in the health plan. During an open enrollment period in which
all offered health plans fully participate without any
underwriting restrictions, co-payment and deductible provisions
must not discriminate on the basis of preexisting health status.
Subd. 2. [CO-PAYMENTS.] (a) A health maintenance contract
may impose a co-payment as authorized under Minnesota Rules,
part 4685.0801.
(b) If a health maintenance contract is permitted to impose

issued by a health maintenance organization that is assessed
less than three percent of the total annual amount assessed by
the Minnesota comprehensive health association may impose

per family, per year. For purposes of the percentage
calculation, a health maintenance organization's assessments
include those of its affiliates.

deductibles not to exceed $2,250 per person, per year and $4,500
per family, per year.

enrollee cost-sharing expenses. For purposes of the percentage
calculation, a health maintenance organization's assessments
include those of its affiliates.

limitation not to exceed $3,000 per person and $6,000 per family
on total annual out-of-pocket enrollee cost-sharing expenses.

Subd. 8. [RURAL DEMONSTRATION PROJECT.] (a) The
commissioner may permit demonstration projects to allow health
maintenance organizations to extend coverage to a health
improvement and purchasing coalition located in rural Minnesota,
comprised of the health maintenance organization and members
from a geographic area. For purposes of this subdivision, rural
is defined as greater Minnesota excluding the seven-county
metropolitan area of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey,
Scott, and Washington. The coalition must be designed in such a
way that members will:
(1) become better informed about health care trends and
cost increases;
(2) be actively engaged in the design of health benefit
options that will meet the needs of their community;
(3) pool their insurance risk;
(4) purchase these products from the health maintenance
organization involved in the demonstration project; and
(5) actively participate in health improvement decisions
for their community.
(b) The commissioner must consider the following when
approving applications for rural demonstration projects:
(1) the extent of consumer involvement in development of
the project;
(2) the degree to which the project is likely to reduce the
number of uninsured or to maintain existing coverage; and
(3) a plan to evaluate and report to the commissioner and
legislature as prescribed by paragraph (e).
(c) For purposes of this subdivision, the commissioner must
waive compliance with the following statutes and rules: the
cost-sharing restrictions under section 62D.02, subdivision 8,
which for purposes of this subdivision is the sum of the annual
copayments and deductible which is prohibited from exceeding the
maximum out-of-pocket expenses allowable for a number three
qualified plan under section 62E.06 or $5,000 per family and an
annual deductible of $1,000 per person 62D.095, subdivisions 2,
3, and 4, and Minnesota Rules, part 4685.0801, subparts 1 to 7;
for a period of at least two years, participation in government
programs under section 62D.04, subdivision 5, in the counties of
the demonstration project if that compliance would have been
required solely due to participation in the demonstration
project and shall continue to waive this requirement beyond two
years if the enrollment in the demonstration project is less
than 10,000 enrollees; small employer marketing under section
62L.05, subdivisions 1 to 3; and small employer geographic
premium variations under section 62L.08, subdivision 4. The
commissioner shall approve enrollee cost-sharing features
desired by the coalition that appropriately share costs between
employers, individuals, and the health maintenance organization.
(d) The health maintenance organization may make the
starting date of the project contingent upon a minimum number of
enrollees as cited in the application, provide for an initial
term of contract with the purchasers of a minimum of three
years, and impose a reasonable penalty for employers who
withdraw early from the project. For purposes of this
subdivision, loss ratios are to be determined as if the policies
issued under this section are considered individual or small
employer policies pursuant to section 62A.021, subdivision 1,
paragraph (f). The health maintenance organization may consider
businesses of one to be a small employer under section 62L.02,
subdivision 26. The health maintenance organization may limit
enrollment and establish enrollment criteria for businesses of
one. Health improvement and purchasing coalitions under this
subdivision are not associations under section 62L.045,
subdivision 1, paragraph (a).
(e) The health improvement and purchasing coalition must
report to the commissioner and legislature annually on the
progress of the demonstration project and, to the extent
possible, any significant findings in the criteria listed in
clauses (1), (2), and (3) for the final report. The coalition
must submit a final report five years from the starting date of
the project. The final report must detail significant findings
from the project and must include, to the extent available, but
should not be limited to, information on the following:
(1) the extent to which the project had an impact on the
number of uninsured in the project area;
(2) the effect on health coverage premiums for groups in
the project's geographic area, including those purchasing health
coverage outside the health improvement and purchasing
coalition; and
(3) the degree to which health care consumers were involved
in the development and implementation of the demonstration
project.
(f) The commissioner must limit the number of demonstration
projects under this subdivision to five projects.
(g) Approval of the application for the demonstration
project is deemed to be in compliance with sections 62E.03 and
62E.06, subdivisions 1, paragraph (a), 2, and 3.
(h) Subdivisions 2 to 7 apply to demonstration projects
under this subdivision. Waivers permitted under subdivision 1
do not apply to demonstration projects under this subdivision.
(i) If a demonstration project under this subdivision works
in conjunction with a purchasing alliance formed under chapter
62T, that chapter will apply to the purchasing alliance except
to the extent that chapter 62T is inconsistent with this
subdivision.
