1 Va. Admin. Code § 55-20-270
Local employers electing to participate in the health benefits program must, as a condition of participation, agree to offer exclusively one or more plans constituting such program. Notwithstanding the above, a local employer, with the approval of the department may offer another accident or health plan provided that such other plan does not duplicate the coverage offered by the health benefits program. Such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Local employers participating in the health benefits program who desire to offer a health maintenance organization (HMO) must offer the HMOs included in the health benefits program and only those HMOs.
