What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
The Health Insurance Risk-Sharing Plan (HIRSP), which is administered by the HIRSP Authority, provides health insurance coverage for persons who are covered under Medicare because they are disabled, persons who have tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), persons who have been refused coverage, or coverage at an affordable price, in the private health insurance market because of their mental or physical health condition, and persons who do not currently have health insurance coverage but who were covered under certain types of health insurance coverage (creditable coverage) for at least 18 months in the past. The lifetime limit of benefits that HIRSP will provide to an individual who is covered under HIRSP is $1,000,000. This bill retains $1,000,000 as the minimum lifetime limit of benefits under HIRSP but allows the HIRSP Authority to increase that lifetime limit.
