Plans are subject to the requirements of Minnesota statutes and rules applicable to insurance companies providing insurance in Minnesota similar to the plan's coverage. These include requirements concerning coverage content, coverage administration, rates, underwriting, and related matters, including but not limited to:
Joint self-insurance plans shall not offer coverage to individuals other than members' employees and their dependents, except as required following termination of employment under Minnesota Statutes, section 62A.17, subdivisions 1 to 5. Plans must comply with the conversion coverage requirements of Minnesota Statutes, sections 62A.17, subdivision 6, and 62E.16, by arrangements with licensed insurers or health maintenance organizations.
A plan may arrange for covered persons to have an option of health maintenance organization coverage, including employees of employers required to provide such an option by Minnesota Statutes, section 62E.16. Such an arrangement must be through a licensed health maintenance organization.
All coverages offered by a plan must be available according to the same underwriting standards to all employees of all members.
A plan shall not commit itself to providing coverage for any period which extends beyond the term of any stop-loss insurance policies required under part 2765.1300.
Notwithstanding cancellation or termination of coverage to a particular member, ceasing to offer a particular coverage, or ending or revocation of authority to self-insure, a plan retains indefinitely all responsibilities to covered employees and other covered persons associated with the period while coverage was in force. This responsibility ceases only after a plan dissolves under part 2765.0700, subpart 4.
