The Texas Association of Health Underwriters would like to thank everyone that took the time to respond to their request for input regarding the Composite rating issue. TAHU took your feedback very seriously and voted to send the following message to the Texas Department of Insurance Commissioner.
TAHU plans to get the following message out to TDI and all the legislators at the Capitol so that they will have an increased understanding of the impact this rule could have on the citizens they represent:
The Texas Association of Health Underwriters recommends that the Texas Department of Insurance request a waiver from the U.S. HHS / CMS to implement an alternative 4-tier composite premium methodology for its small employer market in a manner that is fair and reasonable for all parties involved.
